Coffee Pot Book Tour: Josephine Greenland / Embers
Today we are hosting a stop on the Coffee Pot Book Tour featuring Embers by Josephine Greenland. I have to say the cover is captivating and can't wait to get to the blurb to see what it's about.
The Details:

The Blurb:
Two
siblings, one crime. One long-buried secret.
17-year-old Ellen never wanted a holiday. What is there to do in a mining town in the northernmost corner of the country, with no one but her brother Simon – a boy with Asperger’s and obsessed with detective stories – for company?
Nothing,
until they stumble upon a horrifying crime scene that brings them into a
generations-long conflict between the townspeople and the native Sami. When the
police dismiss Simon’s findings, he decides to track down the
perpetrator himself. Ellen reluctantly helps, drawn in by a link
between the crime and the siblings’ own past. What started off as a tedious
holiday soon escalates into a dangerous journey through hatred, lies
and self-discovery that makes Ellen question not only the relationship to her
parents, but also her own identity.
