The Lost House is atmospheric and well-written, with a chilling Icelandic setting and a layered mystery. While the premise is strong, the pacing drags in places and some characters feel underdeveloped. A solid read, but not unforgettable.

I recommend thriller. I would prefer to read this one due to the confusing names and accent the narrator was using. I listened to the audio version.

There were some good twists and turns I did not see coming. A heartfelt family drama. Some of the romance was unnecessary and distracting from the story. But maybe that was the authors intention to get you looking at the wrong person as a suspect.

I received this galley from NetGalley.

Wasn’t in the mood for a slow build Nordic noir
