Özet

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audio edition of The Shadow District by Arnaldur Indridason, read by Sean Barratt.

OLD CRIMES, NEW CONSEQUENCES

THE PAST
In wartime Reykjavik, a young woman is found strangled behind the National Theatre, a rough and dangerous area of the city known as ‘the shadow district’. An Icelandic detective and a member of the American military police are on the trail of a brutal killer.

THE PRESENT
A 90-year-old man is discovered dead on his bed, smothered with his own pillow. Konrad, a former detective now bored with retirement, finds newspaper cuttings in the dead man’s home reporting the shadow district murder that date back to the second world war. It’s a crime that Konrad remembers, having grown up in the same neighbourhood.

A MISSING LINK
Why, after all this time, would an old crime resurface? Did the police arrest the wrong man? How are these cases linked across the decades? Will Konrad's link to the past help him solve the case and finally lay the ghosts of wartime Reykjavik to rest?

This atmospheric tale covering 7 years is beautifully told (Marcel Berlins)
Indridason is a skillful plotter with a firm grasp of how to tell a story to keep the reader guessing… I will certainly look out the next in the series (Paul Burke)
A new, exciting direction for Indridason that will delight his existing readers and gain him new fans. The past and present fuse together brilliantly in this gripping story

I really enjoyed this book set in wartime and present day Iceland. The main characters are believable and relatable and I love this narrator very much.
My only downside to this story is that sometimes, I found it was a little hard to tell which time zone you were meant to be in. This might be because it's an audiobook and it would be more obvious if you were physically reading it yourself. It took me a while to get my head round all the different names and some of the names are used in both the past and present which doesn't help with the time zone issue.
Overall though, I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it. Onto book 2!

Great narration and good story

Detectives during WW2 struggle to solve a crime.In the present day a detective seeks answers to the death of one of those detectives. It's clever and interesting and the setting is thought provoking. Good narration. All in all an enjoyable listen.

A story set in two time periods

An old man is quietly murdered in his flat. Who killed him? Why? A compassionate murder mystery crossing between past and present to resolve an old whodunnit. Lovely sense of place in modern and wartime Iceland.

Good mystery story
