I really enjoyed this Nordic noir thriller! The author did an excellent job building the atmosphere - I could feel the icy cold and snowy conditions of Iceland while reading it! Not a super twisty read, but it still kept my interest. 🙌

The FMC was not one of my favorites though…not a very likable character to me. There also were a couple of things that I felt weren’t answered. 🤔 Not saying any more, because that would be a spoiler! 🙅🏼‍♀️

Overall I would still recommend checking this one out, especially if you enjoy Nordic noir!! 👏

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for the opportunity to read the eARC in exchange for my honest review! ❤️
