About this listen

As a police team is called in to investigate a woman's suicide at the Holmsheiði prison outside Reykjavik, to detective Guðgeir Fransson it looks like a tragic but straightforward case.

It's only afterwards that the pieces begin to fall into place and he takes a deeper interest in Kristin Kjarr's troubled background, and why she had found herself in prison.

His search leads him to a series of brutal crimes committed 20 years before and the unexplained disappearance of the prime suspect, whose wealthy family closed ranks as every effort was made to keep skeletons securely hidden in closets - while the Reykjavik police struggle to deal with a spate of fresh attacks that bear all the hallmarks of a copycat.

Glass Key Award-nominated Icelandic author Solveig Pálsdottir is an exciting new voice in Nordic crime fiction.

Initially I found this story quite hard to get into, whilst I have read a lot of Icelandic literature by various authors and I love them all even though I have no idea about the pronunciation it hasn’t mattered, this is the first audible Icelandic book that I have listened to and the narrative is accentuated, so it took a bit of getting used to fully understanding what I was hearing. I feel that the voices were a bit inconsistent although I finally got used to it and then I started to enjoy the story. There was a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming, which added to the drama.
