Review
'Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.' -- Stylist 'As with the other books in this series there is humour and warmth. Atmospheric, complex and compelling with an unexpected ending.' -- www.shotsmag.co.uk 'Publishers and blurb writers are competing to hail the new monarch of Nordic crime fiction ... I would be tempted to offer a name not from the obvious crime soil of Sweden or Norway, but from bleak and moody Iceland ...' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Superbly atmospheric' -- Heat 'The twists and turns are as chilling as the weather ... [a] pageturner.' -- Bella 'It's another complex case for Thora, liveliest granny on the floes, and deeply satisfying for the warm-toed reader.' -- Independent 'Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson have helped make Scandinavian crime fiction a global phenomenon, but if you're looking for something a bit different try this Icelandic writer and her feisty lawyer heroine, Thora.' -- Mail on Sunday
Book Description
When all contact is lost with two Icelanders working in a harsh and sparsely populated area on the northeast coast of Greenland, Thora is hired to investigate. Is there any connection with the disappearance of a woman from the site some months earlier? And why are the locals so hostile?
Already an international bestseller, this fourth book to feature Thóra Gudmundsdóttir ('a delight' - Guardian) is chilling, unsettling and compulsively readable.

BIzarre thriller, Sep 3 2011
By Harley "Harley" - Published on Amazon.com
Great reading. This installment is based in Greenland. An original plot which weaves the past death of a remote village into mysterious disappearances in a mining exploration camp. I have enjoyed all the novels in this series but I think this was the best. Even the slight niggle of the unlikely nature of Thora and Mathew's fieldtrip to deepest darkest Greenland cannot take from a well executed and unusual plot.

Skip this one, Jan 15 2012

I have enjoyed this author's other books and their Icelandic setting. This one was a disappointment. I found the setting (a deserted worksite in Greenland) dull, and the plot meandering and not credible. The book could have been improved by some serious editing to tighten up the writing. I could never get interested in the characters, story, or resolution of the mystery. Many plot elements were outlandish. I gave it two stars instead of one only because I like the author's flashes of humor. This is a dud; try one of her previous books instead.

Not thrilling; boring., Jan 5 2012

All I can say is, thank goodness I got this book for a dollar with one of my special offers. It wasn't thrilling at all. Things were hinted at, but the tension never really built for me. Too many of the characters were caricatures and not believable. None of them really developed throughout the book. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, but it just isn't worth the cover price; save your money.
