About the book

The newest superstar on the Icelandic crime fiction scene has arrived with a superb followup to The Darkness.

Shortlisted for the Crime Novel of the Year Award in Iceland
Third Place, Novel of the Year Award 2016 in Iceland, selected by booksellers
One of the bestselling novels in Iceland in 2016

Autumn of 1987 takes a young couple on a romantic trip in the Westfjords holiday―a trip that gets an unexpected ending and has catastrophic consequences.

Ten years later a small group of friends go for a weekend in an old hunting lodge in Elliðaey. A place completely cut off from the outside world, to reconnect. But one of them isn't going to make it out alive. And Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir is determined to find the truth in the darkness.

Ragnar Jonasson burst onto the American scene with Snowblind and Nightblind, the first two novels in the Ari Thor thriller series, and the praise was overwhelming. With The Darkness, he launched a new series featuring a completely new sleuth, Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdottir of the Reykjavik Police department. The Island is the second book in this series.

    Listened to the Audio Book in a shorter version. It was definitely more interesting than the first one but in my opinion no Thriller. More like „normal“ crime. It was entertaining but I am glad I listened to the short version.

    Mir war es einfach bisschen zu viel Gejammer der Protagonistin... Außerdem war sie für mich 1:1 David Hunter in weiblich, persönliche Geschichte wie auch Gedankenflow, nur das die Story dazu leider nicht so spannend war. Dachte mir sehr oft "okay, ganz klar male gaze" weil viele Situationen schon sehr naja, ungewöhnlich interpretiert werden. Fand auch die Auflösung echt nicht so sinnvoll, alleine rein statistisch ein SEHR unrealistisches Szenario, aber no spoilers.
