OMBWarrior47 | Apr 25, 2023 |    ) Tr1stan | Sep 24, 2022 | I was prepared for the savagery of the first crime - it's par for the course in Nordic Noir. But the terrible crime against the victim's father is the worst. Oh, is Iceland part of Scandinavia?! Apparently not: In general, Scandinavia denotes Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The term Norden refers to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. So not even Finland is Scandinavian? I've been treating it as if it was all these years! I haven't heard the term "Norden" though it must explain the word Nordic - even though I've travelled to all the countries in Norden! (  ) Okies | Jul 29, 2022 | Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir is a great character and her family story is very tragic with the death of her husband and daughter years ago. In this book, is she trying to locate her father who she has never met since her mother never wanted to talk about him. I'm looking forward to reading the first book to find out more about Hulda. The island is a great thriller and I recommend the book warmly! I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!

HTML: "Narrator Amanda Redman gives an adept performance as she takes on the various characters in this Icelandic thriller." ?? AudioFile Magazine The newest superstar on the Icelandic crime fiction scene has arrived with a superb followup to The Darkness. Autumn of 1987 takes a young couple on a romantic trip in the Westfjords holiday??a trip that gets an unexpected ending and has catastrophic consequences. Ten years later a small group of friends go for a weekend in an old hunting lodge in Elliðaey. A place completely cut off from the outside world, to reconnect. But one of them isn't going to make it out alive. And Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir is determined to find the truth in the darkness.

I like all of the characters except for the main character. Each character has their own personality, roles, and develop well during the story. I like the twists in the book and how it has multiple events that keep the book moving. No slow parts and comes together nicely.
I don’t like Hulda, unfortunately I think she’s quite drab and her life is quite boring. She also doesn’t seem to have much of a personality, I wish the author would give her a little bit of spunk. I’m also not a fan that the trilogy is not in chronological order. Book 2 is set before book 1. Wonder if book 3 is set before book 2. Oh bother.
★★★★ It’s worth a read. I actually think I would recommend skipping book 1 and going directly to this one. (
