Yule Island: The No. 1 bestselling, CHILLING gothic thriller – based on a TRUE STORY… (Lidingö Mysteries)

When art expert Emma Lindahl is invited to appraise the antiques of the wealthy Gussman family at their secluded manor on the Swedish island of Storholmen, she feels uneasy. The mansion is notorious — a young woman was murdered there nine years ago, and the killer was never caught. Working alone and largely ignored by the family, Emma begins uncovering disturbing clues hidden within the house’s artefacts.

When another young woman’s body is discovered in the icy waters nearby, Detective Karl Rosén — still haunted by his failure to solve the first case — returns to investigate. Together, Emma and Karl are drawn into a terrifying web of Viking rituals, forbidden love, and ancient secrets, buried beneath Scandinavia’s darkest winter.

Based on a true story, Yule Island (the first in The Lidingö Mysteries series) is a haunting, gothic Scandi Noir thriller by the acclaimed “Queen of French Noir,” Johana Gustawsson — praised for her vivid, atmospheric writing, intricate plotting, and chilling psychological depth.
