I was in a bit of an audiobook slump recently and this one got me right out of it. I really liked it. Fast paced and I wanted to know what was happening. Great on audio because of the Icelandic pronunciation.

#icelandicmystery “a tale of two people battling against time and fate.â€(back cover) A teenage girl Lara,is still missing after 30 years from the island of Videy,off the coast of Reykjavik, where she worked for a high class family the summer she disappeared. A journalist, Valur,pursues her story,only to be found dead.His sister, Sunna,pursues his story with only his notebook jottings as clues.A list of prominent men emerges. Are they involved?
I really tried with this one. A young girl disappeared thirty years ago on an island off the coast of Iceland. Sounds promising right? Every ten years she becomes a headline and the story tells us what‘s happening with her cold case. Which is nothing. I gave up half way through.

I just don't find this mystery, about the disappearance of a teenager 30 years prior, interesting enough to finish.

I enjoyed this cold case mystery set mostly in 1986. It gave the reader a nice sense of the setting, and it had a couple of surprising twists.
Iceland 1956 - 14 yo Lara disappears without a trace. Rumors abound-she packed up and left, she killed herself, was kidnapped…1996 - Valur Robersson begins to investigate the 30 yo disappearance on his own, but someone‘s trying to thwart him…
