Daybreak

De: Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson, Björg Árnadóttir, Andrew Cauthery - translator

Narrado por: Benjamin L. Darcie

Several goose hunters are found shot dead in rural Iceland, and detectives Gunnar Maríuson and Birkir Hinriksson are assigned to the case. Lead after lead goes cold before a mysterious letter arrives at the Reykjavik police department that reads, “My nature is to kill. I hunt men and never let go.” Gunnar and Birkir set a trap for the one they call “the Gander.” But the killer sends them on a deadly wild-goose chase, as lives hang in the balance. With the clock running out and the discovery of another body all but guaranteed, the cops must determine what thread connects the victims and if the killings are all part of a twisted game.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Tightly crafted, Daybreak takes the reader into the minds of two unique detectives as they try to unravel the motives and culprits behind the murders of goose hunters. Juxtaposed with American styles, the subtle differences in Icelandic hunting and detective work make for a provoking story.” (Bobby Cole, author of The Dummy Line and Moon Underfoot)

Another fine Nordic noir tale.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, sure.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really, I'm not generally a marathon reader. But it's a good tale.

Nordic sleeper

A classic crime who -dunnit set in Iceland. goose hunters are murdered but theres more to the story than appears. The characters grew on me and I enjoyed getting to know them better as the story is told. Birkir & Gunnar are the main characters. Police detectives, they are quite different in many ways yet work together and are friends. Will look for more books by Ingolfsson.

Good read!

Although the culprit’s identity wasn’t that hard to guess - the story kept my attention thought.

Icelandic Mystery

Any additional comments?

Quite good detective/ police story set in Iceland. Very good at evoking a sense of place. Good fleshing out of characters. Odd tale of a serial murder killing goose hunters in rural Iceland. A few sidelines, most of which are unresolved but maybe will show up in other novels. Is this part of a series?

Scary Icelandic thriller

What did you love best about Daybreak?

The progress of the clues. In the middle of the book, the pace really picks up.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Daybreak?

When the police figure out one of the suspect's stories was false. That really unnerved me.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the police engaged with the suspect in a series of clues on the computer. I love puzzles.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A flight of fancy ends in death
