review 1: Excellente histoire, haletante, j'avais prévue un certain aspect de la fin mais j'ai néanmoins été surprise. Bon roman mais je ne donnerai que trois étoiles en raison du style du français, beaucoup d'erreurs, de lourdeurs, j'ai souvent dû relire des paragraphes car peu compréhensibles...des locutions utilisées mal à propos, enfin une traduction (car ne sachant pas l'islandais, je ne peux pas juger du style de l'auteure)à reprendre de fond en comble. Dommage, j'aurais dû lire la version anglaise, version qui a servi de base à la traduction française.
review 2: This started out nicely. However, considering the endlessly boring "Here be Dragons" that I had struggled with for weeks before picking this up, I suspect pretty much anything would have appe... moreared to start off nice. With "nice" I mean "creepy". Three friends travel to a remote fishing village accesible only by boat, to renovate an old house that they intend to turn into a bed and breakfast. The man who brought them over tried to warn them against the house, but no avail. Before long the three friends feel that they are not alone.In a proper town, the psychiatrist Frey, struggles to overcome the loss of his son Benni three years ago. The body of the boy was never found. Somehow his disappearance is connected to vandalism at a school - exactly the same as one which happened many years previously, at the time of another disappearance.I didn't quite know what to make of the supernatural elements in this book. I thought they would be explained away at some point. It's a perfectly okay book, but the genre mixing of ghost story and crime is a little off-putting for me. I have another book by Yrsa, I'll try that one too before I make up my mind whether to ditch this author permanently or not. less
