MÖHIPPAN – THE BACHELORETTE PARTY
By Camilla Sten
Scream meets The Guest List in this wickedly compelling and compulsively page-turning thriller of friendship and murder.
ON A REMOTE, craggy island nestled off the coast of Sweden, four friends – Tilly, Anna, Linnea and Evelina – meet every year. Best friends since childhood, the idea is to drink beer, dance by the water, and shake off the weight of life’s expectations. The location of the island is a secret to everyone but them. One night of reckless fun and secret-sharing, and then they return to their normal lives.
TEN YEARS LATER. Ever since she was a teenager, Tessa Nilsson has been consumed by the story of four friends who disappeared on their annual trip to a remote island together. As her true crime fervour turned into a wildly popular podcast, Tessa urgently covered Sweden’s most gruesome cases, but could never find the answers behind what happened to these women who disappeared. Now Tessa’s podcast has crashed and burned, any chance she had at uncovering the truth vanishing with it.
ANNELIESE IS TESSA’S best friend, and before she walks down the aisle, she wants to have a bachelorette party. The destination: Baltic Vinyasa, a sleek, sophisticated yoga retreat on a small island off the coast – one with such similar characteristics to the tragedy years ago that it raises the hair on Tessa’s neck. Tessa will not pass this up. It’s her last chance to find out what happened to the four women, once and for all.
AND IT’S SOMEONE else’s last chance to get revenge.

Camilla Sten masterfully delivers a perfectly balanced mix of intrigue, revelation, and tensely timed action sequences. […] From start to finish, I was pulled in equally by the characters and the story; I wasn’t impatient for the big ending reveal because I was too busy enjoying the journey.

The Bachelorette Party demonstrates Sten’s remarkable ability to transform seemingly innocent settings into landscapes of terror, proving once again why she stands among the premier voices in contemporary Nordic noir.

Let me just say, if you love psychological thrillers or locked-room mysteries, this book will grab you from the first page. I found myself glued to my couch, heart racing, as I tried to figure out what would happen next.

The Bachelorette Party succeeds brilliantly as both a page-turning thriller and a thoughtful exploration of female friendship. Sten’s ability to balance psychological insight with genuine suspense creates a reading experience that is both emotionally engaging and genuinely frightening.
