About this listen

The first Thora Gudmundsdottir novel from Yrsa Sigurdardottir—'Queen of Icelandic crime'.

A young man is found brutally murdered, his eyes gouged out. A student of Icelandic history in Reykjavik, he came from a wealthy German family who do not share the police's belief that his drug dealer murdered him. Attorney Thora Gudmundsdottir is commissioned by his mother to find out the truth, with the help—and hindrance—of boorish ex-policeman Matthew Reich. Their investigations into his research take them deep into a grisly world of torture and witchcraft both past and present, as they draw ever closer to a killer gripped by a dangerous obsession....

Love scandi noir as a genre and watch/read/listen to all I can get my ears and eyes on. Have also toured Iceland ~ what a country! Yrsa Sigurdadottir nails it for me. Balance the of story/atmosphere is perfect. Good translation & narrator pronounces icelandic well, with enthusiasm & great characterisation. Big thumbs up and looking forward to more

An outstanding icelandic tale

Two dimensional characters. Hard going as irrelevant detail took up too much of the listening time.

Couldn’t stick with it…poorly written

I recently enjoyed THE PRAY and decided to try a second Sigurdardottir novel. I’m loving that moment of having just discovered a phenomenal new writer because LAST RITUALS was exceptional. A brilliant first in a series. I can’t wait to continue!

Overjoyed at the discovery of this author!
