About this listen

Iceland, 2017: When a young Italian tourist is found brutally murdered at a sacred church in northern Iceland, Magnus Jonson, newly returned to the Reykjavík police force, is called in to investigate. At the scene, he finds a stunned TV crew, there to film a documentary on the life of the legendary Viking Gudrid the Wanderer.

Magnus quickly begins to suspect that there may be more links to the murdered woman than anyone in the film crew will acknowledge. As jealousies come to the surface, new tensions replace old friendships and history begins to rewrite itself, a shocking second murder leads Magnus to question everything he thought he knew....

Murders and some dodgy archeological discoveries... a good solid detective drama that I listen to while driving and doing housework. This part of the series steps away from Magnus’s personal backstory and resumes ‘murder of the week’ mode which is probably better. Some nice tensions and plausible motives to keep you guessing. Great reading by Sean Barrat.
