Resumen del Editor

When single mother Maríanna disappears from her home, leaving an apologetic note on the kitchen table, everyone assumes that she's taken her own life...until her body is found in the Grábrók lava fields seven months later, clearly the victim of murder. Her neglected 15-year-old daughter, Hekla, has been placed in foster care, but is her perfect new life hiding something sinister?

Fifteen years earlier, a desperate new mother lies in a maternity ward, unable to look at her own child, the start of an odd and broken relationship that leads to a shocking tragedy. Police officer Elma and her colleagues take on the case, which becomes increasingly complex, as the number of suspects grows and new light is shed on Maríanna's past - and the childhood of a girl who never was like the others....

Terrific

I like this author’s insight into the everyday worries and questions we all grapple with. Her characters are believable and their stories are compelling. She deftly jumps around in time and smoothly switches voice without too much interruption to the forward movement of the narrative. The reader is fabulous - differentiating characters and time without being over the top. Extremely well performed.

Really great series

I truly enjoyed this book. Once I got the names straight I could follow along easily. I’m listening to the next book now.

4+

A fine mystery- a lot of layers our intrepid detectives have to sort
through. It is a good ride for the
listener - lots of small town gossip
sprinkled with hard police work.
I liked it. I've been listening
to lots of Audible mysteries set in Iceland. This one ranks right with the best. Now I wait for the author's next
book...

Talk about twists!

Great fun and, just when you’d figured it out…well, no, you hadn’t. Couldn’t put it down.

Perfection!

This is the best kind of audiobook: a page-turner, well developed characters, and a stellar narrator. We accidentally found ourselves in Akranes and Bogarnes 2 months ago, so it was fun to hear her describe the places we had been (the tunnel, the lighthouse, etc.) and remember how good the cinnamon rolls and hot dogs are. Memories aside, the story is just the right amount of “noir” and keeps you guessing until the end. One of my favorite audiobooks ever and I listen to about 10 a month.

Unique storyline, excellent narration.

Great story that has some twists to keep you guessing. This is a great series and I hope it continues.

Fantastic!

Loved the story, wonderful character development and bonus....was narrated by my favorite: Diana Croft. I highly recommend.

Tedious

This is not an author I will follow. Too boring, boring, boring. Reader is fine, though.

Story line

Clever but difficult to follow. This author ends her stories with the criminals not getting caught, unless that is commonly what happens in Iceland. I basically don’t like any of the characters. They have no redeeming characteristics. Maybe the last book in the series will be better.
