The ending still gives me a sense of horror, with the death of the two girls. The build up was quite slow, and Thora really wasn't that much of a central character - the family and the seamen were the focus. There was a real sense of isolation in the chapters set on the ship, compared to the relative sanity of dry ground. Fantastic read that's still with me! A repossessed yacht is being brought back to Iceland from Portugal. However, when it arrives in Reykjavík, there’s nobody on board. How can seven people disappear like that? Thóra Guðmundsdóttir is hired by the family of AEgir, the bank employee who brought his family along on the trip, to find out what happened and deal with the awful bureaucracy that comes from being missing, presumed dead. Later, a body washes up on the shore… The book alternates between what Thóra and the family left behind learn about the fatal voyage, and the voyage itself. It is a chilling, heartbreaking story and caused me to choke up a few times, particularly at the very end. I also found the nautical details fascinating; not all readers share my interest, but for me, this book ticked a lot of boxes, and it is my favourite of the Thóra series. It’s a shame there won’t be any more for the foreseeable future, but the way things are left in this one, it’s a good place to stop (while leaving room to come back if the author changes her mind). ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
