Let's dive into three captivating thrillers from Germany, Finland, and Australia, where forest dwellers, AI, and two Finnish grandfathers team up with an Australian ski resort enthusiast to create an unforgettable tale.
First on our journey is "The Forest - It Kills Quietly" by Tibor Rode. Ever since the Brothers Grimm, forests have been associated with danger, but Rode's latest thriller makes it clear that they can hold many more secrets. When mysterious packets filled with seeds start arriving worldwide, each accompanied by death, the race is on to uncover the deadly flora before humanity succumbs. Archaeobiologist Waverly Park and botanist Marcus Holland join forces to investigate this mysterious plant, tracing its origins to China, Canada, and Germany. As they unravel the mystery, they are confronted with ties to Freemasons and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, leading them to a mysterious monastery in the Himalayas. Rode skillfully explores the intersection of nature's intelligence and modern technology, leaving readers questioning humanity's place in the ecosystem.
Up next, we have "What We Never Forgive" by Arttu Tuominen. This third installment in the "River Delta" series is set in Pori, Finland, where an elderly man's life is put in danger. As detective Jaro Palovita investigates, he uncovers connections to the Nazi era, the Freemasons, and atrocities in the Ukraine during the Second World War. Can the two Finnish old men be involved, or is someone else using their past to sow seeds of chaos? This psychological thriller delves into Finland's dark past and the consequences that reverberate through generations.
Lastly, we travel to an Australian ski resort for "The Murderous Cunninghams" by Benjamin Stevenson. Ernie Cunningham, a crime novel enthusiast with a penchant for solving crimes the old-fashioned way, has a moral dilemma. He leads a family reunion amidst the pristine snow-covered slopes, where a series of mysterious deaths force him to step up and save the day.
