Still enjoying the series, good candy. ( ) A dead body is discovered by an American tourist, badly beaten and barely recognizable. The body is identified as Elías Freysson, a subcontractor working on a local tunnel project, who is renovating a house in the country, and is also involved with a charitable organization. The local police station consisting of three officers investigates, but each has their battles: Ari Thór continues to lament his break up with the love of his life, Kristín; Tómas abandoned by his wife’s decision to go to college in Reykjavík; and Hlynur, who is wracked with guilt and shame for his actions in the past. The investigation takes a back seat to their lives and problems, and an aggressive television reporter from Reykjavík (Ísrún), who actualy solves the crime, ferreting out the reason for Freysson's mysterious trip to Nepal. Even her backstory of workplace treachery, physical scarring and the after effects of being a crime victim overshadow the murder and investigation. This is a weaker novel than the other two already published in the U.S.: it lacks a strong central plotline, the motive of the killer is obvious but is out of sync with the entire story, and the tranquil beauty of Iceland has disappeared, replaced by the specter of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption, fouling the air and darkening the skies with ash. In het noorden van IJsland wordt een brute moord gepleegd. Ari en zijn chef Tómas hebben aanvankelijk geen hoofdrol bij het oplossen van deze moord, maar veel bekenden van de vermoorde wonen in hun regio, dus er is wel werk aan de winkel. Een journaliste van de tv wil wel eens belangrijk nieuws brengen, dus zij gaat in haar eentje ook naar het noorden en bezoekt diverse betrokkenen. Bijna alle personages in dit verhaal hebben persoonlijke problemen. In zekere zin leidt dat er toe dat een onschuldige vrouw op het nippertje wordt gered. Zoveel problemen in IJsland waar het mij altijd zo relaxt voorkomt... aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: A huge bestseller in England, France, and Australia, this is the third book in the Dark Iceland series from a spectacular new crime writer. On the shores of a tranquil fjord in northern Iceland, a man is brutally beaten to death on a bright summer's night. As the twenty-four-hour light of the arctic summer is transformed into darkness by an ash cloud from a recent volcanic eruption, a young reporter leaves Reykajvik to investigate on her own, unaware that an innocent person's life hangs in the balance. Ari Thor Arason and his colleagues on the tiny police force in Siglufjordur struggle with an increasingly perplexing case, while their own serious personal problems push them to the limit. What secrets does the dead man harbor, and what is the young reporter hiding? As silent, unspoken horrors from the past threaten them all, and the darkness deepens, it's a race against time to find the killer before someone else dies. Dark, terrifying, and complex, Blackout is an exceptional, atmospheric thriller from one of Iceland's finest crime writers. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
