About this listen

Ari Thor returns to investigate a chilling series of crimes that are rooted in tragic events from the past.

Siglufjörður: an idyllically quiet fishing village on the northernmost tip of Iceland, accessible only via a small mountain tunnel.

Ari Thór Arason: a local policeman whose tumultuous past and uneasy relationships with the villagers continue to haunt him. The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by the murder of a policeman - shot at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house.

With a killer on the loose and the dark arctic winter closing in, it falls to Ari Thór to piece together a puzzle that involves tangled local politics, a compromised new mayor, and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavik, where someone is being held against their will.

Then a mysterious young woman moves to the area, on the run from something she dare not reveal, and it becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.

Dark, chilling and complex, Nightblind is an extraordinary thriller from an undeniable new talent.

Any additional comments?

As the follow up to snowblind I was looking forward to this greatly. I was really disappointed however to find the narrator had changed. Going from an Icelandic narrator to an English one completely changed the tone of the book. He also seemed to pronounce all the names differently, surely it would have been easy to do some homework and keep some continuity?

Why change the narrator?

Unusually this was better than the first novel, maybe because I am now familiar with the scenario and main characters. Also the narration was better. I sense a 3rd book coming and suspect it will become formulaic.

Engaging

Loved the story - but was confused by the anachronisms in the frame story. Are Thor is married and they have a child.

This is not no 2 in the series, but no 5

Loved the story as always with Ragnar Jonasson and the performance narration was good. However I really much preferred the narrator of snow blind who was a native Icelander. It somewhat added to the atmosphere. Hearing Tomas portrayed with a Yorkshire accent did nothing to take me up to the coast of siglifurdur.

Tomas with a Yorkshire accent ???
