The Silver Locket (Raakel Oksa Sets It Right #2) by Eppu Nuotio is travelling to Latvia, where it will be published by Zvaigzne.
In The Silver Locket, Raakel Oksa, a self-employed carpenter with a sharp eye for people’s life stories, is hired to renovate the apartment of a lonely lady recently deceased, Kaarina, who had been hoarding all sorts of stuff in her apartment. Little by little it is revealed that Karina’s life had taken a dramatic turn in the summer of 1975, when she was involved in a complex relationship triangle with a tragic outcome.
The Raakel Oksa Sets It Right series is a balanced mix of cozy crime and feel-good: Raakel’s work takes her on the trail of mysteries that are never too violent or bloody, while still leaving the reader eagerly waiting for the final resolution. Raakel’s own private and love life are often mirrored in the cases she investigates, and acts as backdrop. The series began with The Buttercup Dress, followed by The Silver Locket, and by Longplay.
