<\/a><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Today I am delighted to feature the fourth in the great Icelandic Noir series<\/b>, An Arora Investigation<\/i> by Lilja Sigurdardottir. <\/b>Dark as Night <\/i>was published by Orenda <\/b>on October 10th. I also have a great giveaway<\/b> with the chance to win a print copy <\/b>of Dark as Night<\/i>. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span> When \u00c1r\u00f3ra receives a call telling her that a child she\u2019s never On the same And as Iceland\u2019s long dark nights continue into springtime, that is just the very beginning\u2026<\/p>\n Twisty, intricately plotted and atmospheric,\u00a0Dark as Night<\/span>\u00a0is My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is a great series with an amazing central character, in Arora. You get to see her strength and determination but also her <\/b>sadnesses and vulnerabilities. There are several story strands in this novel but two main ones. One the one hand, Arora is shocked to be approached by two parents who say their little daughter is saying that she is the reincarnation of Arora’s missing sister. On the other hand, Arora’s boyfriend’s tenant goes missing. The story around hi, gets more and more complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> This is a fast paced story which carries you along with twists and turns. The backdrop of Iceland with winter approaching adds to the loneliness and isolation. It feels to be concealing a few secrets beneath the surface. I thought that this was a beautifully translated text by which flowed easily and always felt natural. Big congratulations are due to Lorenza Garcia.\u00a0 There is plenty of detail in the story threads to keep you engrossed and of course, wanting more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In short: hidden secrets in a dark landscape \u00a0 About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Icelandic <\/span><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Giveaway (UK only)<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
