Where did they go? The Lost Village

A Novel

by Camilla Sten

This novel follows documentary film maker Alice as she investigates a mystery with ties to her own past. How did nine hundred (!) people disappear leaving only two vulnerable survivors? What will be uncovered in a search for the truth? What will happen if there is no going back?

This is author Camilla Sten’s first novel to be translated into English. She is the daughter of Viveca Sten, according to something that I saw. I have enjoyed Viveca Sten’s Sandham mysteries a great deal. This novel by Camila Sten was not in my usual genre as it is horror related. That makes it a bit difficult for me to evaluate. I would say that I do not really enjoy horror. However, if you are a fan of mysterious disappearances and can take in some horror, give this one a look.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

I read this book a month or so ago. It wasn’t bad, and I loved the abandoned town and mystery. However, I found the mystery part way too obvious and the horror part kind of disappointing by the end. It wasn’t a bad book, with some really interesting relationships between the film crew, but I was a bit disappointed that it had such a great set-up but predictable conclusion.
