I really enjoyed this book - some very shocking twists I did not see coming. I loved the progression of time as well as those involved with the case. Well written. Kept me up late to finish.

A whole country confined to a tiny island. Of course something creepy is going to happen.

Very good.

Good story. Held my attention well. Loved the settings in Iceland. I wanted more than the simple layer, though. So much attention was paid to developing the police detective at the beginning but after the first 3rd of the book, he all but disappeared. We never learn how he coped with the finale. And his role in it.
