Genre: Mystery
A girl returns to Iceland when a cold case involving her family resurfaces.
This was a solid mystery and I liked the Icelandic setting making it feel desolate and creepy. It was a pretty slow paced book until the end when the killer was revealed.

After reading the description for The Lost House, I was excited to listen to this audiobook for the snowy, Icelandic setting. The plot and characters, however, could not hold my attention despite returning to this one several times.
The characters did not grab any emotion from me and the story seemed to drag on for longer than needed while not providing much new information.
Some things I did enjoy were the dynamic between Nora and Agnes and the Icelandic visual descriptions made me feel a part of the journey. The narrator, Saskia Maarleveld, did a great job with the voices of different characters and I enjoyed that aspect.
Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, and Melissa Larsen for this arc!
