The Silence of the Sea: A Thriller by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
2.0
The premise of this story seemed interesting. It had promise, so it really should have been. Unfortunately, it was sooo boring. It took me so long to get through this, even with skimming through all the unnecessary parts about Thora's children and snoozefest life. The unraveling of the events on the yacht was remotely interesting, but it dragged on -- and then in the end, suddenly Thora knows nearly everything that supposedly happened, even though she's a lawyer and not a detective, and didn't really seem to be doing anything all that significant in the middle to actually uncover all these 'facts'. Huh, what? The story just didn't add up, and in the end I wasn't left with a feeling of satisfaction or conclusion. I don't think I'll be reading anything else by this author.
