The Island (Hidden Iceland #2) by Ragnar Jonasson, translated by Victoria Cribb

 

From Goodreads

Elliðaey is an isolated island off the coast of Iceland. It is has a beautiful, unforgiving terrain and is an easy place to vanish.

The Island is the second thrilling book in Ragnar Jonasson's Hidden Iceland trilogy. This time Hulda is at the peak of her career and is sent to investigate what happened on Elliðaey after a group of friends visited but one failed to return.

Could this have links to the disappearance of a couple ten years previously out on the Westfjords? Is there a killer stalking these barren outposts?

Written with Ragnar's haunting and suspenseful prose The Island follows Hulda's journey to uncover the island's secrets and find the truth hidden in its darkest shadows.

My thoughts

This is the second in the Hidden Iceland trilogy by this Author.  I can't say that I have read any books by this Author before, but after having read this one I will definitely be looking out for more.

Set on an isolated island off the coast of Iceland, this book sure gave you all the feels of being on the island with the characters as the group of friends spend time on this island together.  The writing is descriptive and at times tense, adding to the air of intrigue as secrets are revealed to the reader.

Telling the story of a group of friends as they visit the island, will they all return from the island or will things happen to them as they are all thrown together again?  Can Hulda find out what has happened, as she is sent to the island to try to uncover some of it's hidden depths?
