About this listen

Iceland, 2017: when a young Italian tourist is found brutally murdered at a sacred church in northern Iceland, Magnus Jonson, newly returned to the Reykjavík police force, is called in to investigate. At the scene, he finds a stunned TV crew, there to film a documentary on the life of the legendary Viking Gudrid the Wanderer.

Magnus quickly begins to suspect that there may be more links to the murdered woman than anyone in the film crew will acknowledge. As jealousies come to the surface, new tensions replace old friendships and history begins to rewrite itself, a shocking second murder leads Magnus to question everything he thought he knew....

Liked it

I enjoyed it. Well developed. Intelligent. I figured out the killer, but stayed for the reveal because it was a fun read.

I enjoy these books. Some of the
pleasure is geographical. some is archaeological. Then there is murder, of course. and character development. The Narrator has the perfect voice for the lead. It would be easier for me if the people walking through these pages had American names like John, James, Carol.... I struggle with hearing Icelandic names and remembering who each goes with. But, if you soldier on with the crisp, intelligent mystery you will find this a worthwhile use of your credits.
