Welcome to Litsy!

A native Faeroese who grew up & became a detective in England comes back to the islands to see his ill father. He gets sucked into the investigation into his father‘s near-death injuries, a murder, a kidnapping & more. Well-written with realistic dialog & storyline, & kept me guessing. Terrific narrator, but the breaks sometimes were nonexistent. Poor audio editing, but I‘d listen to book 2 because it‘s an excellent story & narrator. ⬇️

1. Either one
2. Richard Armitage
3. Tagged and finished tonight! Excellent narrator. Review to come

Crafting supplies arrived! Hoping to do some audiocrafting tomorrow morning. We‘ve undertaken a huge home project (packing rooms to prepare for renovations) the past 2 days so I need a break

The audio is great. There was some Scandinavian language in it just now so I tried husband‘s amazing skills with “almost” all Scandinavian languages but this one eluded him. Turns out it was Faero-ese! The Norwegians once occupied the islands millennia ago.

I just purchased this audiobook for my weekend housework. It‘s the only way I can be productive! It works for #FaeroeIslands #readingeurope2020

A solid book to begin the Faroes series. Was an enjoyable mystery, although it did take a while to get going. Look forward to reading The Killing Bay 😊

I really enjoyed this mystery set in The Faroe Islands. Excellent sense of place and character- the first of 3 mysteries with these characters and I will go on to the next 2. If you like Scandanavian Mysteries- perhaps not quite as dark (but maybe decapitation is a bit dark). Recommended

I'm way behind on my #PassportLitsy but hopefully I'll be able to get more read in May.

#DeweysReadathon book 1 from the Faroe Islands this mystery - I saw an article about it in the WallStreet Journal- setting murders on an Island where there aren‘t any! Looks good and I‘ll bet no one else is reading the Faroe Islands!

Loved the setting for this book - the Faroes Islands. It's a good police procedural and I liked the investigators. I have book 2 of this series, The Killing Bay. There is a whale-hunting tradition on the Faroes Islands (don't google that) so I can guarantee you that I will be skipping a chapter or two in that one!

Overall a good first in series. Love the locale and the use of Faroese, and the backstory was interesting as well. A couple of minor boo-boos regarding injuries (saying the injury was on the right side and later on the left side, and vice versa), but nothing to dissuade a recommendation if this interests you.

Slight oops moment: at one point, someone is said to have their right shoulder dislocated. Later, it's the left shoulder.

Otherwise, this book is pretty good! Police procedurals in exotic locales are my "cozy" mysteries. ?

Good read and promising start to series
