Snowblind

De: Ragnar Jónasson, Quentin Bates - translator

Narrado por: Will Damron

Siglufjördur: an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland where no one locks their doors - accessible only via a small mountain tunnel.

Ari Thór Arason: a rookie policeman on his first posting, far from his girlfriend in Reykjavík - with a past that he's unable to leave behind.

When a young woman is found lying half-naked in the snow, bleeding and unconscious, and a highly esteemed, elderly writer falls to his death in the local theater, Ari is dragged straight into the heart of a community where he can trust no one and secrets and lies are a way of life.

Past plays tag with the present and the claustrophobic tension mounts as Ari is thrust ever deeper into his own darkness - blinded by snow and with a killer on the loose. Taut and terrifying, Snowblind is a startling debut from an extraordinary new talent.

interesting story line, complex

complex, interesting story. a little hard to get into but worth the effort. best part is that it familiarized me with Icelandic winter

Icelandic mystery

Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Iceland and the characters in this book. No loose ends in resolving the mysteries but teasers about the good guys making me eager to read the next in the series

Okay, not great.

Difficult at times to follow the story. Didn't feel that all the loose ends were tied up by the end of the book.

How do I trade this one in?

I'm sorry, I was just put off by the narrator. Is there some way I can trade this in? I have already started and finished the book by the same author and enjoyed it very much.

A good mystery in a unique environment

A good mystery in the unique environment of Northern Iceland.

Having just visited Iceland (though not this area), we felt a special tie-in. The author's descriptions really helped me to 'feel' the place.

It was an intriguing mystery/police drama, with a fair number of twists and interesting characters.

I will eventually read others in the series, but am not in a rush to do so.

The ending of the main mystery was good, but the resolution of other threads wasn't very satisfying
