About this listen

Fresh from maternity leave, Detective Elma finds herself confronted with a complex case, when a man is found murdered in a holiday cottage in the depths of the Icelandic countryside - the victim of a frenzied knife attack, with a shocking message scrawled on the wall above him.

At home with their baby daughter, Sævar is finding it hard to let go of work, until the chance discovery in a discarded box provides him with a distraction. Could the diary of a young boy, detailing the events of a long-ago summer have a bearing on Elma's case?

Once again, the team at West Iceland CID have to contend with local secrets in the small town of Akranes, where someone has a vested interest in preventing the truth from coming to light. And Sævar has secrets of his own that threaten to destroy his and Elma's newfound happiness.

The characterisation was excellent though the issue of abuse passed on from generation to generation was depressingly true. It made you think. Very well written.lots of difficult Icelandic names to try and remember!!

The clever plot

Absolutely loved this!

Excellent plot and characters continuing with police process stories of Elma in Akranes. Worthy of one’s time and with minor loose ends suggesting book 6 to come?
