Summary
Hoping to put behind him tragedy in his professional life and to resolve the turmoil in his personal life, Reykjavik police officer Guðgeir Fransson has moved as far away from home as he can, marking time in a dead-end job in a small town in eastern Iceland.
His detective's instincts are triggered when he hears about a foreign woman who arrived in this tight-knit community - and then disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared. The trail of the missing woman takes him back to Reykjavik, and then to a remote farmhouse beneath dark mountains where an elderly woman and her son live with their sinister past.
An exciting new voice in Nordic crime fiction, Glass Key Award-nominated Icelandic author Solveig Pálsdottir is published for the first time in English.

Very dark tale
A strange tale that was more interested in being a very dark tale than a good story. I liked the detective but he was a sad soul. His wife had exiled him to the back of beyond for a year whilst she figured out their marriage. The poor victim - not sure she needed to be disfigured when she was already downtrodden. Ending up in a weird household in the middle of nowhere to be mistreated and ultimately nearly killed. The tormented fox was another strange distraction - a bit too cliched and very far fetched but a good narrator.

Rawness and isolation of countryside in Iceland
Was disappointed with this storyline. Very slow and almost didn’t finish it . Picks up momentum towards the end though . Doesn’t say what the outcome was for main protagonist.

Sadly disappointed for a scandy thriller
The narration of the main female characters voice was unbearable to listen to after a while.
There’s no entertainment for me listening to an already downtrodden vulnerable woman being treated terribly it’s just harrowing.
The slow pace just prolonged the agony so switched it off.

Excellent all round
The plot was good, the characters were developed and the final chapters were gripping. I really enjoyed this book, although a random selection. Excellent.

It’s a no for me
Uninteresting characters, practically nonexistent storyline and snail paced plot. I gave up because I just didn’t care about any of the characters, and the narrators various voices grated on me.
