Telling the story in the way that he did was an idea that just came to him one day. I know someone who read this book and was so horrified by the ending that she refuses to read any of his other works.

That ending really threw me for a loop. I've read all three books in the order they were written, and sometime in the future I intend to read them in chronological order, just to see how Jónasson put everything together. He's become one of my favorite writers.

That ending really surprised me, and that doesn't happen nearly enough these days. I think you'll enjoy the next two books in the series a lot, too, even though they hold fewer surprises. Hulda is one of the most memorable characters I've encountered in a while, that's for sure. Seems like Cathy...or someone...mentioned that there is a fourth book in the works right now. Either that, or my wishful thinking has gotten the best of me.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-6286354899318293202021-07-17T12:03:04.726-05:002021-07-17T12:03:04.726-05:00His was certainly a review that piqued interest in...His was certainly a review that piqued interest in this series.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-17639228267047506092021-07-17T12:01:00.629-05:002021-07-17T12:01:00.629-05:00Sam's review made me add this book to my TBR l...Sam's review made me add this book to my TBR list, though I already had Jonasson's book Snowblind on there because I am a fan of Icelandic mysteries.
