The Absolution: A Menacing Icelandic Thriller, Gripping from Start to End: Freyja and Huldar
Autor Yrsa Sigurdardottir Traducere de Victoria Cribben Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 apr 2019
The first the police know of the crime is when clips are sent from the victim's Snapchat account, showing her begging for forgiveness. The CCTV at the cinema where she was working show her being dragged into the night by a masked killer. When the body is found, it is marked with a number 2...
Detective Huldar joins the murder investigation, bringing child psychologist Freyja on board to help question the murdered teenager's friends. Soon, they uncover that Stella was far from the angel people claim: a relentless bully, she made life miserable for those around her. Freyja suspects this led to her death - but she may be overly influenced by her own childhood. Huldar simply wants to find out if there is a first victim still waiting to be discovered.
Then another teenager goes missing, and more clips are sent. Freyja and Huldar can agree on two things at least: the truth is far from simple. And the killer is not done yet.

Recenzii
Freyja and Huldar are one of the most intriguing crime detecting partnerships around and THE ABSOLUTION is a gripping, fascinating insight into the dark side of social media and children at risk. THE ABSOLUTION confirms Yrsa as a master storyteller with a satisfyingly slanted view of the world she recreates.
Yrsa Sigurdardottir gets better and better with each book. The relationships and the humour lighten the darkest plot.
There's no waffle in The Reckoning: it is brutal, baroque and ends with a brilliant last-minute twist.
One of the best books I've read for a long time: dark, creepy, and gripping from beginning to end.
Sigurdardottir doesn't shy away from the hideous effects of bullying, combining a tough novel about a grim social phenomenon with a fast-paced plot
It's addictive, bleak, and will give you thrills and chills in equal measures.
Praise for Yrsa Sigurdardottir's Freyja and Huldar series
Yrsa is a magnificent writer.
Yrsa Sigurdardóttir has with her large-scale and genuinely intelligent stories attempted to find the core of Iceland's distinctive society, and thus pushed the Icelandic crime novel tradition many steps forward.
A dark story by a brilliant author. A densely plotted, multifaceted and compelling book. Exceeds most novels in the thriller genre.
Praise for THE LEGACY
Iceland's outstanding crime novelist
Yrsa remains the queen of Icelandic thriller writers.
If you like your crime fiction dark and engaging, look no further. THE LEGACY is as brutal as it gets. A cracking start to a new series by Yrsa Sigurdardottir.
Credited as the queen of Icelandic crime, Sigurdardottir's story about the dark side of school and social media is as gripping as it is grisly
