About this listen

'Satu Rämö's Hildur series is a wildly successful publishing phenomenon that has put the genre of "Nordic blue" on Europe's literary map' The Guardian

'Atmospheric and startlingly original' Sunday Times

Hildur Rúnarsdottir is the only police detective working on the isolated west coast of Iceland. She is desperate to forget her traumatic past by burying herself in her cases alongside her new trainee, Jakob Johanson. But Jakob's life has its own complications, and it soon becomes clear that neither can run from their pasts for long.

When a local man is found with his throat slit, underneath an avalanche that has buried much of the evidence, Hildur and Jakob must set their own problems aside and unravel the dark secrets to expose a killer . . .

Great start

This book was a great introduction to Hildur, her colleagues and Iceland. It was moderately paced and set up story lines and historical events ready for the sequel. Wonderfully read.

Gripping story

I really enjoyed this book. The descriptions of Iceland, the weather, the scenery and the customs are skilfully woven into a gripping investigation.
Well narrated too. Have downloaded book 2 and am looking forward to number 3 later in the year.

Great narration

Absorbing murder mystery with a wonderful atmosphere. The narration is lovely and having (what sounds to me like) the correct Icelandic pronunciation for names etc. enhanced the story even more.

Hildur

Story was too fragmented and lacked climax that one would expect in this genre. The reding was good.

Annoying conclusion

Was a moderately enjoyable listen, but feel the ending was building up for a sequel.
