Ari Thór Arason is a local policeman whose tumultuous past and uneasy relationships with the villagers in an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland - where no one locks their doors - continue to haunt him.

The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by the murder of a policeman - shot at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house. With a killer on the loose and the dark Arctic winter closing in, it falls to Ari Thór to piece together a puzzle that involves tangled local politics, a compromised new mayor, and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavík where someone is being held against their will.

Then a mysterious young woman moves to the area, on the run from something she dares not reveal, and it becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.

Slow moving and boring book! snowblind and Blackout are much more interesting books. I loved the Hidden series the best.

This is the 3rd book. Blackout is the 2nd Book

His wife. She has been in my last nerve since book one. Tomas seems to have regressed back to being Ari’s boss. I see this as problematic in the future. I thought the twins and the elderly lady were unneeded distractions. The Deputy Mayor needs to get better at picking men.

Blackout is book 2. Kind of messed up the story for me reading them out of order. Audible needs to correct this.

This is book 3

I read this book right after I finished his book Snowblind. It has two narratives. One is of Ari Thor trying to solve the murder of a fellow police officer. The other is the diary of a young man in a mental institution. The story with Ari Thor was good, but the book could have done without the diary. Thankfully, they different narrators for the different stories.

Glad there were two narrators

I'm sorry to say that I found Will Damron's narration so stiff and plodding that it interfered with any appreciation I might have had for the story. I almost stopped listening several times, but I stuck with just to know who the killer was and who the guy in the psychiatric hospital was...very disappointing.

maybe with a different narrator...

Although the performance was ok it was disappointing from both the point of view of the plot and the writing.

Disappointing from all points of view
