Synopsis

Icelandic sisters Áróra and Ísafold live in different countries and aren‘t on speaking terms, but when their mother loses contact with Ísafold, Áróra reluctantly returns to Iceland to find her sister. But she soon realises that her sister isn’t avoiding her . . . she has disappeared. As she confronts Ísafold’s abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend Björn, and begins to probe her sister’s reclusive neighbours, Áróra is led into an ever-darker web of intrigue and manipulation. Baffled by the conflicting details of her sister’s life, and blinded by the shiveringly bright midnight sun of the Icelandic summer, Áróra enlists the help of police officer Daníel, as she tries to track her sister’s movements, and begins to tail Björn - but she isn’t the only one watching . . .

It is always such a joy to begin a new book from a favourite author, and when that book is the start of a whole new series, it's even better. Cold As Hell is book one in the Áróra Investigation series and it's an absolute belter of a read. I am so excited about this new series. Áróra and Ísafold are......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 13, 2024

Es ist toll mal eine Schwester zu begleiten, die auf der Suche nach ihrer verschwundenen Schwester ist. Kein Ermittlerteam oder viel Polizeiarbeit. Island kommt als Schauplatz der Handlung sehr gut raus! Ich würd am liebsten direkt einen Flug buchen! 🤩 Leider war mir sehr schnell klar, was passiert......more
