Story4.5 out of 5 stars 252
The only person who might have the answers to a baffling murder case is the victim's seven-year-old daughter, found hiding in the room where her mother died. And she's not talking. Newly-promoted, out of his depth, detective Huldar turns to Freyja for her expertise with traumatized young people. Freyja, who distrusts the police in general and Huldar in particular, isn't best pleased. But she's determined to keep little Margret safe. It may prove tricky. The killer is leaving them strange clues: warnings in text messages, sums scribbled on bits of paper, numbers on the radio.

Vaka sits on the cold steps of her new school. Her father appears to have forgotten to pick her up, her mother has forgotten to give her this week’s pocket money, and the school is already locked for the day. With no way to call home, she resigns herself to waiting on the steps until her father remembers her. When a girl approaches, Vaka recognizes her immediately from class and from her unusual appearance: two of her fingers are missing. The girl lives at the back of the school, and Vaka asks to call her father from the girl's house. That afternoon is the last time anyone sees Vaka.

And then two of the boys go astray.... Decades later single father Odinn is looking into alleged abuse at the center.

Her savings are depleted, her love life is nonexistent, and she cannot face another winter staring at the four walls of her shabby apartment. Celebrating Christmas and ringing in 1986 in the remote fishing hamlet of Skálar seems like a small price to pay for a chance to earn some teaching credentials and get her life back on track.

Publisher's Summary

In an isolated village in the Icelandic Westfjords, three friends set to work renovating a run-down house. But soon they realize they are not as alone as they thought. Something wants them to leave, and it's making its presence felt. Meanwhile, in a town across the fjord, a young doctor investigating the suicide of an elderly woman discovers that she was obsessed with his vanished son. When the two stories collide, the terrifying truth is uncovered.
Critic Reviews
"Narrator Lucy Paterson's smart pacing and subtle applications of intensity and tone guide listeners through Icelandic author Sigurdardottir's two seemingly unconnected plots and characters.... This intriguing mix of understated horror and mystery offers listeners a unique audio experience." (AudioFile Magazine)

Absolutely terrifying web of misfortune
Through most of this story I was completely freaked out. This is my kind of horror. It isn't gory, it isn't sex ridden, it isn't just humans at their worst and it is blissfully not YA. It IS supernatural, roundabout detective, atmospheric, and scary. I loved the way it all weaved together. It is just awesome in every way, story and narration both great. Well worth 2 credits!!

This is a great ghost story
This story is incredible! I loved the interweaving stories and mystery of how things tie. The tone set by the author gives you that good old ghost story feel. Great characters and scenery established from the beginning.
Completely cliche, but I’m saying it: I wanted to find out what happens, but did not want it to end.

Classic Gothic Ghost Story
A couple and their dear friend set off for a desolate, abandoned village in Iceland, where they have invested in an old \ house. Their plan is to renovate the structure into a bed-and-breakfast for the warmer seasons' visitors. They soon discover, however, that the "bad reputation" the ferry captain spoke of about the house is all too true.
Meanwhile, in more populated Icelandic town, a psychiatrist sets out to investigate the suicide of a woman who bore strange scars on her back. He's also endlessly searching for his son, who disappeared without a trace several years past.
This story is slow to start and difficult to follow in the opening chapters, partially due to an American's unfamiliarity with the strange character and place names. Basically, two tales are told in parallel, gradually converging with horrifying clarity. Avoiding the gore often in modern horror, this author relies instead on the subtlety of Gothic horror, where what is not exactly seen but heard and vividly imagined is scariest of all. Any reader who enjoys a truly creepy ghost story, written with a definite flair for the literary, will definitely enjoy "I Remember You: A Ghost Story."

Great Suspense!
This book had a wonderful tightly wound plot.
The language was concise and evoked images of both terror and mystery that were believable and spine chilling. I have heard that one out of ten Icelanders is an author of some sort and I will be a very loyal reader of Sigurdardottir if this book is even remotely like the rest!

Painfully slow!
Painfully slow and laden with unnecessary detail that did not serve the plot. Characters were not well developed which made it hard to be invested. Can't fault the narrator she was the only reason I plowed through the story.

Good god...
I’m trying to like this book, but the main characters are insipid. I’m most of the way through, so I don’t know the outcome and thus spoiler alerts are unnecessary, but I’m not sure I can keep listening...out of irritation, not suspense. If ever a set of characters deserved to die it’s these morons. I mean, ok, they are out of their element, but who goes to an isolated island with no means of communication or electricity without at least a backup battery pack?!! And that is but one minor example. They are a trite amalgam of all cheesy horror movie characters. Someone, please, kill them off soon....
Maybe it’s just lost in translation, but I’m really not connecting with this one.
