I'm Traveling Alone

In Samuel Bjork's I'm Traveling Alone, the first installment in the Holger Munch and Mia Kruger thriller series, this debut is so intense and chilling, it would leave you at the edge of the seat. It all started when someone found a little girl hanging from the tree like an angel and called the police. That started the hunt for a killer when Detective Holger Munch lead his Violent Crimes team in Sweden. For Holger, he smokes a lot and dealt with his daughter's wedding and dealing with his ex-wife Marianne. But when another little girl has been snatched, he needed his former partner, Mia Kruger, to help come back to the force to assist his team on this sinister case. For Mia, she planned to join her twin sister Sigrid in Heaven, who died from an OD many years ago. She wasted her body away, but Holger's request to help him with this case had brought her back to the living. Together, they put together the pieces to this dark sinister puzzle by decoding the clues and finding the link together. Deep in the forest, there's a religious sect that might be part of this scheme as two other missing girls turns up missing and later reported dead. But someone's tantalizing Holger and Munch and getting too close and personal, when Mia believes Holger's granddaughter Marion is the next one  on the list. It's up to them to catch the right killer in time and save Marion in time in a fight to the finish in this fast-paced thriller.

This debut was dark, creepy, and spine-tingling to sum it up. I cared for Holger and Mia as individuals and also a helluva team to work together in this most complex case. What a way to introduce this duo along with their quirks to make us care of them. I did feel for Mia who had nothing much to fight or live for, except for maybe her job as a police officer on the team. And for Holger, who cares for his family, and needs to be more devoted to his family. I don't blame him for smoking when stress gets the best for him. I loved the vast scenic settings and the compelling locations across Sweden from the forests and everywhere in between to help paint a vivid picture. This thriller has non-stop action, plenty of fast--paced suspense, tons of drama, and a wallop of mystery to keep you hooked from the start.
