Sie wurde vergewaltigt und brutal erschlagen, in ihren Fußsohlen stecken Nadeln. Rechtsanwältin Dóra Gudmundsdóttir findet heraus, dass die Ermordete sich sehr für die Geschichte der verlassenen Gegend interessiert hat.

Set in modern day Iceland, in this absorbing page turner Thora Gudmundsdottir is a lawyer hired to represent the owner of spa and resort who wants to sue the previous owner because they feel the place is haunted and were not told. Thora is drawn into a murder investigation of owner, Jonas, accused of murder of an architect. The mutilated body is found on the beach no real clues. Then a second body is found.....
Recommended.

I've been waiting forever to read this author, and I have been missing out. The building tension and the murder investigation.....I cant wait to see how this ends.

This was a surprisingly good choice for the lead-up to Halloween, with a chilling prologue (I got shivers in public in broad daylight) and a plotline dealing with ghosts. I've read book 3 in the series and so have immediately requested book 4.

#seasonsreadings2016 #setonanisland I chose one of a series of of crime procedurals set in Iceland for this task. The author also wrote one of the creepiest ghost stories I've read in a while called I Remember You.

The second in a series of mysteries set in Iceland. The dialogue is a bit quirky sometimes and I don't know if that's intentional or a result of the translation? One aspect of the plot here was a bit absurd but I enjoyed it overall, and I love the main characters.

A little audiobook listening over lunch, at a newly discovered Argentinian lunch place! Roasted black beef and Gouda arepas and a mystery set in Iceland, can't beat it.
