I loved the first in the series of this atmospheric Icelandic thriller. It was the perfect wintry read. I loved the two main characters; detective Hildur Rúnarsdottir and her trainee Jakob Johanson. Both have interesting back stories which run alongside the main murder mystery. I was gripped by the murder investigation and was desperately trying to work out who was behind them (although I'm always hopeless at this!) I also really enjoyed the insight into Icelandic life which I've never read about before.
I'm looking forward to revisiting Hildur and Jakob again in the two new books coming out in 2025! A fantastic new series!
