Gunnhildur Mystery, Book 7

De: Quentin Bates

Narrado por: Mel Hudson

Gunnhildur reluctantly allows herself to be taken off police duties to act as bodyguard to a man with a price on his head....

Hidden away in a secure house outside Reykjavík, Gunna and the high-profile stranger, a guest of the interiors minister, are thrown together - too close for comfort. They soon find they are neither as safe nor as carefully hidden as Gunna and her boss had thought. Conflicting glimpses of the man's past start to emerge as the press begin to sniff him out, as does another group with their own reasons for locating him. Gunna struggles to come to terms with protecting the life of a man who may have the lives of many on his conscience - or indeed may be the philanthropist he claims to be.

Isolated together, the friction grows between Gunna and the foreign visitor, and she realises they are out of their depth as the trails lead from the house outside Reykjavík to Brussels, Russia and the Middle East.

Disappointing

Gunnhildur is one of my favorite characters. When I saw a new novel had been released, I was overjoyed. This novel was not only tedious, but there were sloppy mistakes aplenty. There’s a scene during which Gunnhildur and the man she’s protecting have a conversation. About two or three chapters later, they have the same conversation with only a slight edit. (Did the characters suffer from amnesia and simply forgot they already had that conversation?!) I can see how an author could make this mistake but WHERE ARE THE EDITORS? If you love Gunnhildur as much as I do, skip this novel.

excellent read

I am a big fan of this series and this particular book did not disappoint.
