White Darkness (en Inglés) - Hilde Blosen

A thriller set in 1893 Utrecht, Netherlands

​​"I'm a godforsaken coroner, Charlotte. But your mother makes even my skin crawl."

​

When Charlotte van Seist awakens, the first thing she feels is a piercing, icy cold. She finds herself in the sterile, white rooms of Frederik Bastiaansen, a man whose name is spoken only in whispers of dread throughout the city of Utrecht.

​What brought her to this place of death? While the streets outside teem with dark rumours, Charlotte discovers that the walls of the mortuary are not the only prison. Deep within her own family lies a secret so foul it cannot bear the light of day.

​In a world of white tiles and suffocation, only one man can help her, the man she fears most. Frederik.

​

​"A superb read! The atmosphere of late 19th-century Utrecht is masterfully captured. Highly recommended."

"Wonderfully readable with gripping plotlines. Utterly mad."

"A magnificent book. Truly impressive."

Hilde Blosen lived and studied in Utrecht, the city that provides the atmospheric backdrop for her thrillers. With her debut novel, White Darkness, she delves into the murky medical history of the 19th century. She is currently working on the sequel in this series.
