The Pigsty

The summer Ulf died, Tina finally slept. Life is slowly finding its rhythm again — bees in the lavender, cats on the windowsill, lingering Swedish evenings washing the fields in gold. After years of walking on eggshells in her own home, she is learning what quiet feels like when it isn't laced with fear. Then Mats and his family move in next door. Tina doesn't recognise his face. But she recognises the signs — the stillness, the careful control, the tension in the air around him. She's seen it before. Lived with it. Survived it. Tina tells herself it's none of her business what goes on in that house. But as she grows closer to the woman and her young son, looking away becomes impossible. She won't let it happen again. What she doesn't yet know is how far she's willing to go to stop it. The Pigsty is the first novel in the Solinge series — psychological suspense set in an idyllic village in southern Sweden, where not everything is as it seems.
