Þóra Guðmundsdóttir

review 1: Not only is the day dark; the setting is cold, cold Greenland. A number of puzzling finds --bones, video, talisman-- await Thóra Gudmundsdóttir, her friend, Matthew, and others when they travel to Greenlnd to investigate, among other things, the disappearance of two mining engineers. You can really see Sigurdardottir's strengths in depicting spooky and creepy elements of the story. Surprising twists and a great ending.
review 2: I agree with Richard's review almost in everything. It's really scary at the beginning. The second half is quite slow and a bit illogical (why did the group have to leave the camp in the middle of the investigation and then return back?). Bella's character could have been developed more deeply as I think that the author didn't make... more use of many situations with her and Thóra but it might have led to too much comedy in this story where the plot well balanced. Highly recommended. less
