Overview:
From Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurdardottir comes a thrilling and unique audiobook series
The Legacy is the first installment in a stunning new audiobook series from the author of The Silence of the Sea, winner of the 2015 Petrona Award for best Scandinavian Crime Novel.
The only person who might have the answers to a baffling murder case is the victim’s seven-year-old daughter, found hiding in the room where her mother died. And she’s not talking.
The Legacy is the first installment in a fantastic new series featuring the psychologist Freyja and the police officer Huldar.
Newly-promoted, out of his depth, detective Huldar turns to Freyja for her expertise with traumatized young people. Freyja, who distrusts the police in general and Huldar in particular, isn’t best pleased. But she’s determined to keep little Margret safe.
It may prove tricky. The killer is leaving them strange clues: warnings in text messages, sums scribbled on bits of paper, numbers broadcast on the radio. He’s telling a dark and secret story—but can they crack the code? And if they do, will they be next?

My Review
The Legacy
By Yrsa Sigurdardottir
Macmillan audio
Narration 4 stars
Having read and editorially reviewed The Legacy I was excited to get the
opportunity to review the audio edition produced by Macmillan audio. I was
pleasantly surprised with the narration of Lucy Patterson who did an excellent
job of letting me finally hear the correct pronunciations of almost (to me
anyway) unpronounceable Icelandic names and places. She also with a definitive mellifluous voice gives an emotion perfect performance giving life to each character and each scene and making
the horrors of this fantastic international thriller more real.

ReplyDeleteOh good to know she's been around the block Kim
DeleteI always wanted to take a course in Icelandic, but every year they had it there was another class clashing with it, one that was a must. Ack!

DeleteÞað er alltaf á morgun -there's always tomorrow in Icelandic ;-)
I love the idea of a mystery series set in Iceland. I will definitely be adding this one to the list. Thanks, Debbie!
