REVIEW: Home Before Dark by Eva Bj枚rg 脝gisd贸ttir. Dark, twisty, atmospheric and gripping standalone psychological thriller that keeps the reader engaged and wrong footed. 10 years after her sister's disappearance, Marsi returns to her home town to investigate. #bookreview
In at least 21 of the 30 deaths, the killers - or the suspects in their killings - were well-known to the women.
I've long been a fan of Scandinavian and Icelandic fiction, sometimes it's great to slip out of my cosy lane and pick up something truly chilling. Home Before Dark is such a fantastic read. It's not a book you can read a chapter of and put down - it's best served in one sitting. In 1967, Marsi's sister went missing, the only clue was her blood soaked anorak. 10 years later, Marsi returns to try and uncover what happened the night, unable to move on until she has answers. And of course, it's not the only secret that is uncovered.
