The Things We Leave Behind

In the atmospheric Swedish crime novel The Things We Leave Behind, set in the tranquil Ömheten care home, former policeman Tore Lindahl suspects foul play following a resident's death, while his concerns are brushed aside as mere ramblings. Teaming up with Veronika Wiklund, a young journalist, they begin to unravel unsettling truths that challenge their tight-knit community. As they delve deeper, the care home becomes a site of conflict tied to dark legacies of World War II, exploring themes of memory, grief, and the cost of uncovering the past.
