The Last Tenant: The chilling, breathtaking new mystery in the million-copy bestselling Forbidden Iceland series

by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir, Victoria Cribb (Translator)

When the remains of a young woman and a baby are uncovered on a derelict farm, Detective Elma is drawn into a disturbing investigation, as a young mother settling in Akranes realises danger may be closer than she ever expected. The multi-award-winning, international bestselling Forbidden Iceland series continues…

When the skeletons of a young woman and a baby are uncovered on a long-abandoned farm in Hvalfjörður, it is clear they were buried years apart. West Iceland CID begins to investigate the disturbing discovery, aware that someone has gone to great lengths to keep the past hidden.

In Akranes, Karitas, a young single mother seeking a new start, settles in with her four-year-old son and rents a basement flat from an eccentric landlord. A cautious sense of happiness returns when she meets the boy next door.

But when news breaks that a local girl has been murdered, Karitas must decide who she can trust, knowing that one wrong choice could place her and her child in danger. Detective Elma is drawn into the case, forced to navigate long-hidden family secrets to understand a killer's motive, while trying to hold together her increasingly troubled relationship with Sævar.

Dark, atmospheric and rich with psychological suspense, The Last Tenant confirms Eva Björg Ægisdóttir as one of Iceland's finest crime writers, as a meticulous investigation and a series of unsettling discoveries draw a close-knit community towards a reckoning no one can escape…

Ein af betri bókum Evu, gat ekki lagt hana frá mér fyrren ég var búin að lesa hana upp til agna. Skemmtilega unnið aðalplott sem þvældi mér hring eftir hring í getgátum og kom á óvart, eitthvað sem er alltaf skemmtilegt. Mæli með.

Þessi var alveg hreint rosaleg og hélt mér föstu taki alveg frá fyrstu blaðsíðu. Sakamálið var mjög spennandi þó svo að beinin sem fundust hafi verið gömul, og mér fannst spennan krauma undir yfirborði sögunnar allan tíman. Ég elska hvernig Eva Björg nær að flétta inn hálf grískar tragedíur í sögurnar sínar, sérstaklega þegar kemur að fjölskyldu drama. Hinsvegar er mér ennþá nokkuð sama um Elmu. Ég vonaðist til þess að endir síðustu bókar (Strákar sem meiða) myndi færa meiri spennu í raunverulegt líf hennar, en svo var ekki sem olli mér smá vonbrigðum. Ég bíð samt spenntur eftir næstu bók!

I’m a big fan of the Forbidden Iceland series, so I was excited to read the latest entry. If you like moody, atmospheric Nordic noir, you’ll definitely enjoy this series. This book focused on a handful of characters with a complex history, with themes of domestic violence and generational trauma and how they ultimately led to murder.

There were a few things I predicted, but there were also some twists along the way that kept me surprised until the end. However, one of the characters’ actions definitely frustrated me at times. You could read this as a standalone, but I wouldn’t recommend it since it references previous storylines and you won’t have the full context for the dynamics between the main characters. Overall, this was another engaging read in the series and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Vá þessi greip mig alveg - enda andaði ég henni að mér á no time!
Hugsaði þegar ég kláraði bókina að Eva er ekki mikið fyrir að skilja eftir eitt loka plot twist heldur nokkur, og á það við með þessa. Mér fannst þessi plot twist samt meika meira sens en í síðustu bók sem hún gaf út og að mínu mati hefði þurft eitt í viðbót til að klára einn spottann betur í sögunni 😅
En þetta var mjög spennandi söguþráður og hélt mér við allan tímann! Verð greinilega hooked á svona “back in time” sögufléttu - eins og þessi bók kemur inn á. Allskyns fortíðardraugar og ósagðar sögur sem koma ekki fram fyrr en reynir á.
Eitt sem situr líka eftir er persóna Baldvins sem minnir mig smá á Hodor úr GOT. Án þess að segja of mikið þá held ég að hann hafi verið uppáhalds persónan mín í þessari bók 😌
Þangað til næst!

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

In Eva Björg Ægisdóttir’s The Last Tenant – the sixth outing for Detective Elma – the discovery of two bodies, buried decades apart in a derelict barn, brings a twisted web of secrets and lies into the open.

The more recent victim is Sólrún Sveinsdóttir, a troubled medical student who went missing six years previously, and had been presumed dead by suicide after her coat and shoes were found on a beach. In the same grave are the badly-decomposed remains of a newborn, estimated to have been there for around 50 years.

The implication is clear: whoever disposed of Sólrún’s body knew the baby had lain there undiscovered for a long time, making it the ideal place to hide another corpse – at least, until a dog started digging there and its owner raised the alarm.

Meanwhile, young mother Karitas and her four-year-old son Benedikt (Bessi) are settling into a basement flat in Akranes. Their elderly landlord Baldvin is a bit strange, but good with Bessi and seemingly harmless, and Karitas soon finds a love interest in Kristófer, who lives next door with his well-off father Hermann and youthful stepmother Rós.

It transpires, though, that Baldvin, Kristófer and, by extension, Hermann knew Sólrún: are any of them linked to her death? And if so, how? It’s down to Elma to find out, while continuing to manage the demands of motherhood and worrying the spark has gone out of her relationship with Sævar.

Whenever I’m invited to the blog tour for a new Eva Björg Ægisdóttir title, I request a spot without hesitation! As with her previous books, I found The Last Tenant so difficult to put down, I devoured it in just a couple of sittings.

Having gone all Gothic in last year’s spin-off Home Before Dark, Ægisdóttir has dialled up the eerieness in this latest addition to her Forbidden Iceland series, and I’m very much here for it.

While Akranes is small enough that everyone seems to know each other, if you venture far enough from the town centre, you’ll find quite a few isolated and/or abandoned properties like the one where Sólrún and the baby lay undisturbed for years. In her endeavours to uncover the infant’s identity, Elma riffles through books in the main farmhouse that have been untouched for decades, and asks older residents for their recollections of the last occupants – a cold, unneighbourly couple who departed in the late 1960s – adding to the haunting atmosphere.

Baldvin’s house feels similarly frozen in time, even though he still lives there. Following his teenage daughter’s death in an accident 20+ years previously, his wife left him, and he’s been living alone with many of their possessions ever since. His daughter’s room in particular has stayed exactly how she left it.

Baldvin is a major source of suspense throughout the story, as Karitas – and, by extension, the reader – isn’t quite sure what to make of him. Is he simply a lonely, socially-awkward older man who’s so excited to have company close at hand again, he gets more involved with his new tenants’ lives than you’d expect of a landlord? Or are his motivations more sinister? It doesn’t help that, on more than one occasion, Karitas makes unsettling discoveries around her flat that might or might not have innocent explanations.

Kristófer and Hermann also give off dodgy vibes that put you on your guard whenever one or both of them appear in a scene. At first, Kristófer seems like a promising prospect for Karitas and Bessi, but over time, it becomes evident that he’s self-absorbed, petulant, and immature – yet I couldn’t quite bring myself to discount his stories about the lesser-seen nasty side of Hermann, who publicly presents himself as a genial, upstanding member of the community.

There are so many twists towards the end of this book, my head was practically spinning! Kudos to the author for so much clever misdirection, and to the translator for bringing it across the language gap so expertly.

As ever, it was great to be reunited with Elma and co. Book five (Boys Who Hurt) ended on something of a cliffhanger, because Elma was told something huge about her partner Sævar, and I’ve spent the two years since then wondering what the impact was going to be. I was actually quite surprised they were even still together at the beginning of this book, and then I spent quite a lot of it internally yelling ‘TALK TO EACH OTHER’ at them! You’ll have see for yourself whether they confront their issues in time to save their relationship. Elma’s mother and sister, meanwhile, remain brilliantly ‘endearing, witty, and maddening’ (as I put it last time).

The Last Tenant is a haunting and suspenseful novel that keeps you guessing.

I received this book for free in return for an honest review.

[Mario · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

I felt this was a bit of a return to form for this author although not to the highs of her first two offerings.

On the plus side the storyline was good and there was an atmospheric feel and tension at times particularly relating to certain characters. On the down side I felt the number of historically related people made it over complicated at times and the ending was a rather gentle non event.

This is the sixth book in the Forbidden Iceland series and, like the others, a compelling read.

The remains of a young woman and a baby are uncovered at an abandoned farmhouse. Detective Elma Jónsdóttir, her partner Sævar, and her boss Hörður of West Iceland CID investigate to determine the identities of the deceased and how they came to be buried together, though they were clearly buried years apart. The woman is eventually identified as Sólrún Sveinsdóttir. Her disappearance had been believed to be a suicide but evidence now shows she was murdered.

There’s a second plot focused on Karitas Sól, a young single mother who moves to Akranes with her four-year-old son Bessi. She rents a basement apartment from Baldvin, an eccentric older man. He befriends Karitas and her son, but some of his behaviour worries Karitas. She meets Kristófer, a young man who lives next door, and the two become romantically involved. But then she learns that Sólrún, the murdered woman, had connections to both her landlord and her neighbour. Can she trust either of them?

As in the previous novels, Elma’s personal life is also part of the story. This time, Elma and Sævar are experiencing some relationship difficulties. Though they live together with their young daughter Adda, Elma knows that Sævar is keeping secrets from her. She thinks he may be seeing another woman. I enjoy these glimpses at Elma’s personal life, but I appreciate that they don’t overshadow the investigation.

Elma is a very likeable protagonist. As always, she continues to show her intelligence and determination. Even when she has strong suspicions but no supporting evidence, she doesn’t hesitate to confront a person she suspects is guilty of a crime. She’s not perfect and that makes her authentic. She attends a party and reveals some information about the case and then is “tortured by self-recriminations” and has difficulty forgiving herself for what she perceives as negligence.

As I’ve mentioned in my reviews of previous books in this series, the author is a master of misdirection. I know to expect that in her books not everything is as it seems. Besides those of Elma and Karitas, the perspectives of various people connected to the case are given. These people harbour secrets and/or behave strangely, so there is no shortage of suspects. I identified a suspect and then thought I was proved to be correct, but I was wrong. I’m pleased that the one person I thought from the beginning was innocent is indeed so. But then there was someone I never suspected! It speaks to the writer’s skill that I was fully engaged in trying to solve the case as I read.

Readers looking for a meticulously plotted police procedural with engaging characters and a lot of psychological suspense need look no further. Though the book can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the books in order. All have received 4 stars from me.

I devoured the book from the first to last page I loved reading all the phonetic way to say the Icelandic names and the letter sounds and then every page of the following story.
Told through different POV, it was a chilling story, 2 bodies buried years apart and what is the connection.
A clever interwoven story that kept me hooked
Book 6 but definitely can be read as a standalone, i just need to read the other 5 now as this was so good.

[One Foot in Iceland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elma and Sævar are back and there's a LOT going on! Some bones are found in the cow barn of a farm in Hvalfjörður, and on further investigation, beneath them, some more, much older bones. A missing person case that was believed to have been a suicide at the time (walking into the sea) fits the timeline and has the girl's boyfriend, Kristófer, with a solid alibi but serious concern that the police will somehow now pin this on him. He lives with his dad and his new trophy wife, next door to creepy Baldvin, who lets his basement apartment to Karítas and her young son, but he has his own agenda. Karítas, a struggling single mum, feels she's fallen on her feet with her new apartment, with her handsome neighbour Kristófer who shows an interest in her, and her friendly, if rather eccentric, landlord upstairs.

But as the story unfolds, the reader endures such tension throughout as you feel for this likeable young woman, simply trying to do her best with her beloved young son, caught between the snares of these two men whom we are quite sure are not all that they seem, and the question is which of them is the more dangerous, either, perhaps neither, or even both?

Meanwhile, Elma, Sævar and Hörður are working on the case of identifying the bones and trying to solve this murder from 6yrs ago. But the shine seems to have gone out of police work for Sævar, and he's behaving oddly, in classic suspicious ways, which tolls alarm bells for poor Elma.

The book is told in relatively short chapters from the POVs of Elma, Karítas and Kristófer, with an occasional unknown (to start with) character. Those short chapters do keep the pages turning...oh just one more...ok just one more...one last one... ! And the story with all its twists and turns is gripping enough anyway!

Eva Björg goes from strength to strength, and is an automatic 'must read'. A new novel from her is always a cause for celebration, and The Last Tenant is no exception!

[Karen Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Last Tenant is the most recent book in Eva Björg Ægisdóttir's Forbidden Iceland series, which, like most of the instalments, features Detective Elma as the main character. Elma's personal life is an important part of the overarching narrative and returning readers may feel a deeper emotional response to her problems here but it certainly isn't necessary to have read the previous novels and it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone too.
The first person opening narrated by an unknown character fearing real-life monsters rather than those in folklore, followed by a brief introduction to a character who is awaiting the arrival of a girl he seems to have obsessively researched, is an unsettling introduction to the book. Events soon take an even darker turn however, as the action moves to Elma who is on the site of a recently discovered skeleton. Her instinct tells her the remains belong to a woman and she is proven right a little later. However, like everyone else present, she is shocked when a second skeleton belonging to a baby is uncovered – particularly as it's obvious the baby was buried several years before the second victim.
The storyline switches between Elma's third-person perspective to that of Karitas, a young single mother who has recently arrived in Akranes, and Kristófer, her next-door-neighbour, with whom she quickly becomes romantically involved. Eva Björg Ægisdóttir weaves a chilling sense of tension throughout The Last Tenant through her clever use of hints and misdirections. Readers know that somebody is responsible for the death of the young woman but what this means for Karitas isn't clear and the suspense builds steadily as she and her young son become more involved with both Kristófer and her landlord, Baldvin Baldursson.
Baldvin is undeniably odd, especially when it comes to the creepy similarities he points out between Karitas and his daughter. He is kind to little Bessi though, and the pair strike up an unlikely friendship. Kristófer initially seems like the perfect boyfriend but other people have their reservations about him and as he also becomes a person of interest in the investigation, Karitas has to decide who she can trust. There are unnerving incidents throughout The Last Tenant which suggest she should be suspicious of both men but quite what their secrets are and whether they are connected to the skeletons isn't revealed until much later. What is evident, however, is that something very dark occurred on the farm and as Elma investigates the former residents, she uncovers a distressing history of violence which was kept hidden for many years. Eva Björg Ægisdóttir 's atmospheric descriptions are exemplary and together with her nuanced characterisation, the sense of terrible foreboding she creates is almost unbearable at times.
It's a tricky case for Elma, made more difficult due to the passage of time since the victims were killed. Some forensic evidence still survives but this isn't the usual crime scene. Meanwhile, her relationship with Sævar also becomes a cause for concern. It's been patent for a while that he isn't happy at work but when she learns he has been keeping secrets from her, she fears that has now crossed into their personal life. As always, Eva Björg Ægisdóttir strikes a good balance between the psychological suspense of the investigation with the continuing development of her returning cast of characters – readers will be gripped by the standalone storyline and compelled to come back for more! A word here, too, for Victoria Cribb's translation which allows the narrative to flow seamlessly from that sinister opening until the breathtakingly dramatic denouement and the subsequent disturbing conclusion.
The Last Tenant is Nordic Noir at its most chillingly addictive. Very highly recommended.

Thanks so much to Orenda Books for organising the Forbidden Iceland readalong - I can hardly believe that having finished The Last Tenant I’m now up to date with @evabjorgaegisdottir’s powerful series that explores criminally dysfunctional families.

In this latest instalment we meet a young mother who finds kindness from an old man with a poor reputation and unkindness from a young man who seems to have survived well in an unkind world.

Soon Elma finds herself investigating an historic murder and, as she continues to steer through life as a new mother, she is faced with the challenge of tracking down the killer of a mother and baby decades ago.

In the hands of many writers, this would be a straightforward cautionary tale of not trusting first appearances, but this author finds many complicating factors that impede Elma’s investigation. There’s another mother who may be dead or may have fled the country. And there’s the question of how closely related some of the suspects may be.

All in all, a twisty and emotionally charged police procedural from one of Iceland’s finest writers in the genre.

Huge thanks once again to Orenda Books for the opportunity to get to know Elma and her colleagues. I cannot wait for the next NEW book in this series!

[Lynsey · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

‘The Last Tenant’ is a dark and brooding return to the ‘Forbidden Iceland’ series, and it is one of my favourites so far. This is the sixth book that Eva Björg Ægisdóttir has written in this series, but it can be read as a standalone story. I do recommend the whole series, though. I always forget how much I love these characters, and I enjoyed being back in their world once more!

When the skeletons of a young woman and a baby are found buried on a farm, Detective Elma and her team are called in to investigate. It soon becomes clear that they were buried at different times. Whilst this is taking place, we are also introduced to a young mother who has recently moved to Akranes for a fresh start. She lives in a basement flat, and her landlord is quirky, and she doesn't quite know how to take him. When she embarks on a relationship with the young man next door, she doesn't realise what she is becoming involved in and that it could put her and her son in danger.

Elma and her partner, Sævar, are at odds in this book. They are not gelling as much as they used to, and Elma is beginning to worry that Sævar is pulling away from his family. This once again brings in the themes of family, lies, and secrets and how they can tear apart even the strongest of relationships. These themes also form the main mystery narrative as secrets and lies carry on down through the generations and their emotional weight.

As much as I enjoyed the return of our beloved team, it was also delightful to be introduced to Karitas and her adorable son. I felt that Karitas and her landlord, Baldvin, are some of the best characters that Eva has created. They, alongside Sævar, show how trauma and its effects can change people’s perspectives of them. By the end of the book, I just wanted to embrace one of them, one I wanted to face justice, and the other I was cheering for!

There was something which annoyed me, and that it seemed that Elma was left on her own with this case and that it progressed at a glacial pace. Not the story, but the actual mechanics, the nuts and bolts, so to speak. Maybe, now I have written that, I have come to realise that was another way for Elma to feel off-kilter, isolated, and anxious about her life in general.

This was another engaging book from Eva. I do love her writing, and once again, the translation was seamless. She also builds nuanced and believable characters, and it is why I will always keep returning to this series. Roll on book seven!

Þrjár og hálf stjarna. Sagan var alltaf mjög spennandi og hélt manni alveg límdum við bókina. Ég var samt alltaf að vonast til að hún myndi enda með meira plotti en hún gerði.

Two skeletons are found, buried in at a long-abandoned farm in Hvalfjörður - the remains of a young woman, and a tiny baby. Detective Elma of West Iceland CID is rapidly drawn into the case, which becomes even more complex when it appears that the bodies were buried years apart.

In Akranes, single mother Karitas moves into a basement flat with her four-year-old son Bessi. She is looking forward to new start, and delighted when she begins a tentative relationship with her attractive new neighbour Kristófer. But she cannot shift the feeling that something is not quite right with her eccentric, ever-watchful landlord, Baldvin.

When the news gets out that the body of a local girl has been found, Karitas begins to question who she can trust in Akranes. And, Elma gets drawn into the victim's murky family history, which is full of secrets - while she tries to decide if her own partner, Sævar, is hiding things too...

Eva is back with her sixth darkly delicious book in the addictive Forbidden Iceland series. Told from the perspectives of Elma, Karitas, and Kristófer, with additional narratives carefully dropped in on occasion to set your brain off on scattered directions, this is a twisty delight typical of Eva's Agatha Christie-like style.

When two skeletons are found at a farm that has been abandoned for decades, Detective Elma has a tricky investigation on her hands that leads back to the disappearance of Sólrún, a young medical student from Akranes, who went missing six years ago. Why the remains were found at a location unconnected to Sólrún, but rich in an uncomfortable history all of its own, is a complete mystery - one which will take Elma a lot of digging into the past to solve. And she has her own distracting worries to contend with when Sævar's distance convinces her their relationship is in trouble.

In parallel, Karitas is trying to make the best of the turn of fate that has brought her to Akranes with Bessi, but her hopeful beginning quickly becomes clouded by worries about her strange landlord, and the nagging feeling that she is getting out of her depth with Kristófer - especially when she discovers Sólrún was his girlfriend at the time of her disappearance, and she was linked to Baldvin too.

The threads of this gripping story weave around each other, exploring a wealth of knotty themes around the relationships between mothers and sons, and the presence of monsters within. Eva uses the power of rumour beautifully throughout, manipulating what you think you know, keeping you guessing with more than one likely suspect for the murderer, and shifting your perception with sinuous twists that keep you engaged. There are some nifty elements about DNA evidence that are quite intriguing too. Victoria Cribb's translation flows nicely, as always, which is admirable given the number of complex storylines Eva loves to bring to her novels.

Just a good as I knew it would be, from one of Iceland's best Nordic noir writers. Eva never lets me down!
