Story
John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel, a huge best seller in his native Sweden, is a unique and brilliant fusion of social novel and vampire legend. And a deeply moving fable about rejection, friendship and loyalty. Oskar and Eli. In very different ways, they were both victims. Which is why, against the odds, they became friends. And how they came to depend on one another, for life itself. Oskar is a 12-year-old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge. Eli is the young girl who moves in next door.

Story
In the autumn of 1975, after two decades of intimate friendships, Truman Capote detonated a literary grenade, forever rupturing the elite circle he’d worked so hard to infiltrate. Why did he do it, knowing what he stood to lose? Was it to punish them? To make them pay for their manners, money and celebrated names? Or did he simply refuse to believe that they could ever stop loving him? Whatever the motive, one thing remains indisputable: nine years after achieving wild success with In Cold Blood, Capote committed an act of professional and social suicide with his most lethal of weapons...words.

Story
The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind it a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled; for wherever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. The fog, quite simple, drives people insane.

Story
In September 1985, 19-year-old John Lindqvist moves into a dilapidated old building in Stockholm, planning to make his living as a magician. Something strange is going on in the building's basement - and the price of entry is just a little blood. I Always Find You is a horror story - as bizarre and macabre as any of Lindqvist's best-selling novels. It's also a book about being young and lonely, about making friends and growing up. It's about magic and the intensity of human connection - and a society's communal responsibility for a devastating act of political violence.

Story
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals. As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Summary
From the author of the international best seller Let the Right One In.
They only stopped watching her for a matter of minutes. That was all it took.
It was a beautiful winter's day. Anders, his wife and their feisty six-year-old, Maja, set out across the ice of the Swedish archipelago to visit the lighthouse on Gavasten. There was no one around, so they let her go on ahead. And she disappeared, seemingly into thin air, and was never found.
Two years later, Anders is a broken alcoholic, his life ruined. He returns to the archipelago, the home of his childhood and his family. But all he finds are Maja's toys and through the haze of memory, loss and alcohol, he realizes that someone - or something - is trying to communicate with him.
Soon enough, his return sets in motion a series of horrifying events which exposes a mysterious and troubling relationship between the inhabitants of the remote island and the sea.

I hope there was some missing...
I didn't enjoy any of this at all. The bits I did understand were completely bizarre, I know there are some "out there" bits in Jo Nesbo or Stieg Larson, but nothing as confusing and ridiculous as in this book. I'm at a loss to understand why it's been recommended at all for people who've enjoyed other Scandinavian Crime novels. I hope that the previous reviewer is correct, and that there are chunks missing from the download that would miraculously make it work. But I'm not convinced anything could help. Mis-sold. Don't bother.

Dire!
Would you try another book written by John Ajvide Lindqvist or narrated by Julian Rhind-Tutt.?
I would think twice buying another book from the same author
Has Harbour put you off other books in this genre?
No
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Julian Rhind-Tutt.?
Nothing wrong with the Narrator.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. The plot sounded good. Persevered for 8 hours, but then gave up..sorry

Imaginative and engrossing
What made the experience of listening to Harbour the most enjoyable?
The imagery conjured up by both the author and narrator were brilliant - totally absorbing. There are some very interesting and varied characters, and some nicely balanced back plots.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Harbour?
I don't want to spoil the story, so I'll just say there are a few ghostly moments that were really gripping!
Which character – as performed by Julian Rhind-Tutt. – was your favourite?
The main character, Anders, is my favourite as he is so emotionally engaging. The narrators reading and beautiful pronunciation of the Swedish names really made this audio book something special for me.
Any additional comments?
Okay it's not perfect, but for me it just worked!

Dour sea tale
Dour bleak & humourless tale of waves and bloodlines. Well-written, gripping, fatefully monotonous. Fascinating without anyone in particular to care about, It carries you through a visceral experience of elemental powers. Just wierd.

Not my style
This book could have had so much potential but the plot went no where. The narrator made the book listenable. However, the ending was very flat.

Suspenseful Horror
I thoroughly enjoyed “Let the Right One In” by John Ajvide Lindqvist and as Harbour is based around the folklore of the sea, an area of particular interest, I could not resist downloading it. I must admit it would have been more suspenseful had I not realised when I got to the end, initially, that the last six hours of the book had been omitted from Audible's version; however the missing six hours were restored a few months later, and I was finally able to listen through to the actual end of the book.
I enjoyed the narration by Julian Rhind-Tutt, whose calm voice held back the urge for this listener to race towards the end. The audio was clear and without fault, once the entire book was in place.
Harbour combines suspense, thriller and horror in one story set in the small, island community of Domarö, where Anders lost his daughter in mysterious circumstances years earlier. He returns in a alcoholic haze as the secrets of the community and the island start to unravel, flitting back and forth between past and present, yet all being revealed in a kind of perfect order.
I did enjoy it, but there were some scenes which I found too explicit; and I now feel my flirtation with horror is now at an end. I only gave the storyline 3 stars because I was slightly disappointed by supernatural aspect, which appeared to be confused, and somewhat "glossed-over" nearing the end; actually I felt a little cheated by that.
