The Lost Village was about a film team scoping out an abandoned town in Sweden in hopes of figuring out what happened to the town. All while half of the characters conveniently have connections to the people who went missing. 

This book kept my attention and did have some suspenseful parts. But I also felt it went flat when it came to wrapping the story up. The answers to many elements seemed to all come at the same time. There were also a few things that didn’t make sense, but that is fiction for you. 
One of my biggest what they heck moments, without giving anything away, was when one person died. Why did no one attempt cpr? I still think about that the most.
