Another one in the Scandinavian tradition of the best thriller books, The Darkness is an atmospheric novel that brings you into the Icelandic cold to tell the tale of a Detective Inspector forced into early retirement. Hulda Hermannsdóttir is allowed just two final weeks on the force and her choice of any cold case to investigate. She selects the murder of a Russian immigrant only to find a deeper and even more mysterious layer to the original case. As she attempts to solve why another woman went missing around the same time, the detective finds herself battling her own peers and racing against the clock, which inches closer to her deadline. If you like the first in the Hulda series, look out for the two sequels.
