jennl 's review for:

The Absolution by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
3.0

I love Norwegian Noir, and though this is set in Iceland, it has all the great hallmarks of the genre — dark tone, strong sense of atmosphere, and memorable characters.

In this book, I particularly appreciated the incorporation of social media, giving it a real modern feel, and the exploration of bullying.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my review.
