Disappearing Earth (Julia Phillips)Read about the other entries on the list.
This novel is set in the peninsular Russian province of Kamchatka, which is so remote—bordered by ocean and a frozen desert—that no major roads connect it to the rest of Russia. It begins on an August day (though this far north, the leaves are already turning) when two young sisters go missing. As the weather grows colder, so does fear about what happened to the missing girls. This is winter like only Kamchatka can produce with snow banks that “propped up the buildings” and cold so deep one character muses “her marrow must have frozen blue.”
Disappearing Earth is among Ayla Rose's six crime novels with a focus on nature and Scott Alexander Howard's eight novels from across the world about isolation.
