Three friends -- a couple, Katrín and Garðar, and the recently-widowed Líf, plus Líf’s dog, Putti -- travel to the abandoned village of Hesteyri to renovate a house to provide guest rooms during the summer tourist season. But as soon as they arrive, strange things begin to happen. Is the isolation just playing tricks on their minds? Or is something truly eerie happening?I cannot decide what rating to give this book, so I’m going with three stars.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged psychiatrist has moved to the town across the fjord from the abandoned village to escape his failed marriage and the loss of his son, who disappeared without a trace three years earlier. When Freyr is called by the local police to the local elementary school to analyze the mind of an unknown vandal, he gets pulled into the mystery of another boy who disappeared 60 years before his son, just before a similar act of vandalism at the same school. As he delves deeper into the past, eerie coincidences abound.
