Summary
Do not listen late into the night! A horror novel guaranteed to surprise and chill, for fans of Catriona Ward, CJ Tudor and Stephen King.
THE FIRST PHONE CALL SHOCKS A FAMILY
A box of photo albums is found in the attic of a house in Höfn, a small fishing village on the south coast of Iceland. The new owners return it to the man who sold them the house, along with a muddied child's shoe with a name written on the sole: Salvor. The man is baffled; they never knew anyone called that. Shortly after the phone rings - it's the nursing home where his mother, an Alzheimer's patient, lives. She's suffered a heart attack and the doctors don't expect her to live much longer. The nurse asks him to let his sister, Salvör, know as well. Their mother has been asking for her.
THE SECOND TRACKS TWO MISSING COUPLES
Jóhanna is a member of a search and rescue team in Höfn and she's searching for two couples from Reykjavik. Their phones' last location has been pinpointed as the road leading up into the highlands. It's far from clear why these people would have made such a risky trip in the middle of the harsh winter, and they soon find the first dead body. More troubling, Johanna senses her team is being tracked out in the snow.
A THIRD FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE?
Hjörvar works at the Stokksnes Radar Station in the highlands. He is alone when the phone connected to the gate rings. It's the first time it's done so since he began working there five months ago. He picks up the phone but can hear only interference and what sounds like a child's voice asking for her mother.
How are these events connected? And what may be searching for its prey out on the ice?

So good!!
Previously unfamiliar with this author, purchased after reading a recommendation in The Times. Wasn’t disappointed! A gripping and creepy story that kept me hooked from beginning to end. Both narrators are excellent too. Highly recommended.

Intelligent and tight thriller that will keep your light on and fireplace fuelled.
Yes, there is a murderer. In fact several. But the killer that weaves it's way through this intelligently written story isn't any of the people who took lives. It's Icelandic winter. The narrative jumps backwards and forwards in a short timescape. But it also unveils a historic and moving death that has and still is affecting people all through this tale. The mundanity of the serial killer who justifies his actions with text book psychopathic coldness is the not the most chilling thread in this narrative, although he is a monster. The supernatural story is intense and unsettling. But there is nothing quite so terrifying as the blank horror of exposure to unsurvivable cold and the knowledge that you've made an enormous mistake.....nature is a weapon if your killer has no mercy. Great writing, great narration. Thank you.

Contrived
Disappointed - did listen to the whole book despite feeling it wasn’t for me. Felt it was neither a ghost story nor a thriller and the ending was unsatisfactory.

Did not convince
Dissapointed on story. Got me at the beginning but lost interest a bit far fetched.
