Story
In the wake of a dying man’s apparent suicide, the skeleton of a young woman is discovered on a windswept hillside. Detective Hjalti Hentze suspects that it is the body of a Norwegian woman reported missing 40 years earlier, while a commune occupied the land, and whose death may be linked to the abduction and rape of a local Faroese girl. Meanwhile British DI Jan Reyna is pursuing his investigation into his mother’s suicide. But as he learns more about her final days, links between the two cases start to appear: a conspiracy of murder and abuse spanning four decades.

But when a second man is found murdered, the body bearing all the same marks as the first, it looks like the hallmark of a serial killer...

Story
When a teenage girl is found dead in the woods, her body posed like an angel, Stockholm holds its breath. The kill bears a chilling resemblance to those of the Angel Maker, a serial killer caught two decades ago.... One who just died in prison. Detective Inspector Jamie Johansson is taking some much-needed time away from the London Met when the call comes in. Her father, one of Stockholm's most notorious detectives, caught the Angel Maker when she was just a girl, and Jamie has long since closed the door to that part of her life.

Summary
When a group of international activists arrive on the Faroe Islands intent on stopping the traditional whale hunts, or grindadrap, tensions between islanders and protestors run high. And when a woman is found murdered only hours after a violent confrontation at a whale drive, the circumstances seem purposely designed to create even more animosity between the two sides.
For Faroese detective Hjalti Hentze and DI Jan Reyna, the case quickly exposes personal connections and conflicts of interest. But as they dig deeper, it becomes increasingly clear that the murder has other more sinister aspects to it. Knowing evidence is being hidden from them, and faced with deception on all sides, neither Reyna nor Hentze knows who to trust or how far some people might go to defend their beliefs.

Excellent book, well read
I really like the way that Chris Ould writes, his characters are normal people without obsessions and behave as real people would behave.
This had a good story, I wasn't on the edge of my seat with suspense - but I enjoyed listening to the unfolding tale in a relaxed way.
It was very well read by Matt Addis.
Have I really got to wait a year for number three in the trilogy? Sigh!!

Took time to engage my interest
I was attracted to this novel because of the interesting Faroes location and the possibility of learning something about the way of life these remote islands. There certainly is some interesting material in the book about the traditional practices, particularly, their controversial continuation of onshore whaling.
I found the early chapters slow and for most of the book it was difficult to keep track of the different characters with their unfamiliar Faroese or Danish names. I never felt engaged by the characters. Maybe it would have been easier if I’d listened to the first book in the series.
Gradually the story became more interesting but the cliff-hanger ending was a annoying and disappointing.
The narrator is good and did help with differentiating the characters.

Addis Aces it Again
Would you recommend The Killing Bay to your friends? Why or why not?
I paid £2.99 for it in cash, on the daily deal, so value for money wise I can't really complain. With that in mind, I admit I have not heard the first book in the series, although I believe they are only loosely connected via a few characters. Is it worth a credit? Yes it probably, is. I wouldn't feel hard done by if I had paid that. However, for me the story lulled a little in the middle and although the author is trying to develop some suspense, leading us down wrong paths, the weren't as dynamic or gripping as I would have hoped and I could have skipped a couple of hours in the middle and it probably wouldn't have made much difference. The setting is different and interesting, although the characters come across as a little one dimensional. The author tries to enhance this by mixing first and third person narratives, but it seems a little forced to me, not natural in the way that Peter May does it. Again this could have just been delivered in third person, and you wouldn't have know the difference. (Note: the first book may have laid some character ground work, but I haven't read it). It isn't that the book is bad, it isn't, it is just that it isn't great. I'd listen to it again, but it would be in a few years time, not the next 12 months.
What about Matt Addis’s performance did you like?
Many people are read a book.... Matt Addis Delivers it!... Accents are well done, pronunciation is good (not that I can really check, but it sounded good!). Male and female voices, different, distinct and believable....What I really like about Matt Addis, is that he speaks the book how I would read it. Which makes listening to it so easy! He isn't in a rush to get the sentence finished, and pauses at all the right points, like you would if it was placed in front of you. Another awesome performance.

Another excellent listen
Enjoyed the setting of the story and the excellent characters: though the end of the story wasn't entirely satisfactory, this and the excellent narration made for an enjoyable experience. I have a feeling, or a hope at least, that the last book in the trilogy will pull the strands of the main character's history together to make a satisfactory conclusion.

Superb second book in the trilogy
Superb 2nd book - I had to carry on with the 3rd one immediately before stopping to review this one! I've given this 5 stars again even though I didn't like the passages about the whale killing and processing. It's something I think is unnecessary in the 21st century for these people but the subject's an essential part of this book. The threads of the story are once again well woven, and the narrator continued to impress me. A comfort read, not an edge of the seat story, but captivating.

Did not want to put it down!!
I love a book that follows along one track in present time! I had read and thoroughly enjoyed "The Blood Strand" which is the first in this trilogy and this second book "The Killing Bay" has now left me avidly looking forward to the release of the third. Of particular interest is the fact that the setting for the novels is in the Faroe Islands providing cultural interest as well as a great story line. Chris Ould has definitely become my most favourite author and Matt Addis did a superb job on the narration. I wholeheartedly recommend this author's books to everyone.

Great Follow Up to Book 1
This book has a great story line and exemplifies the world wide difficulty police agencies face when local jurisdictions are negated by a National entity. The real story line however is a complicated murder with some great twists. The underlying theme from Book 1 continues but you don’t have to read in the correct order to enjoy this book. I have already downloaded Book 3. Performance was superb!!
