Welcome to Litsy!

Atmospheric crime novel is a good description.

This is a solid crime thriller. Four friends visiting a remote island and only 3 return. For me it was the setting that resonated….Iceland. A perfect place for a murder..isolated and beautiful. My last overseas holiday before Covid hit was to Iceland in 2019. Such a wonderful destination!! Oh how I miss travel😍

My last two reads!
The Island is book 2 in the Hidden Iceland series- I really enjoy Hulda's character and I look forward to reading the final book soon!

I did enjoy The Murder Rule but it was VERY different from her Cormac McCarthy series. A little far-fetched but a good fast paced read!

Definitely needing this escape right now. I just can't stop thinking of those 19 babies in Texas 😔

Just finished The Heiress, reading for 2 hours this afternoon. Finished The Island last night; could not sleep so listened 4 hours. Snuck 20 minutes of reading The Night Hawks at work today. Plan to enjoy dinner then read more tonight.

Friday stats:

Started The Island- listened 45 minutes #audio
Read 40 pages of After the Armistice.
Worked yesterday. So did start any of these until making dinner & bedtime.

Busy weekend but hoping to get 20 minutes in this morning.

Damn I wanted to love this. First chapter was awesome. Setting is incredible. But I just didn't connect. Maybe it was the translated prose? Or the staccato style to the chapters? Still, I'm intrigued by the Icelandic setting to try another one of his books.

Dark Nordic noir,perfect for a cold winter day.

You need to maintain a high level of trust when reading Ragnar Jonasson: trust that the seemingly unrelated stories will come together; trust that you‘ll really get to know all of the characters; and trust that the mystery WILL be solved.

Hulda Hermannsdotter is a great character. Be sure that you read THE DARKNESS, the first in the series, for her back story. We‘re told that the series is a trilogy. I hope there are more than that!

Because the library hold came in and it‘s storming outside, that‘s why...🥃🐾⛈ #DogsOfLitsy #WhiskeyAttitude

Enjoyed the story. Also I love Iceland and loved the descriptions.
Only thing a bit confusing was that two of the characters had similar names.
I read it in a day. Had to know how it ended. Not too bad really . The ending that is.

Had to put this down last night (work) and can't pick it up today (work). Half way through and they're dropping like flies and I want to know how it ends!!

This is the second in the series following Hulda. This was a really good story once I got into it. It took some following at the beginning with various things happening especially the babysitting scene but it all comes together in the end. The plot was good and the murder interesting. I did figure it out before the end except one of the twists that was very clever.
I look forward to the next book.
