Cold Comfort Audiobook

" With the unpronounceable Icelandic names, it was a little difficult to follow. For example, there were three characters whose names began with Bj-----. Thank goodness for Kindle! I was a little disappointed at the conclusion. I didn't follow how Gunna arrived at the solution of one of the murders. "

" This is the Dostoyevksy of murder mysteries--it is written by an English author and set in Iceland, and the names are voluminous and challenging to follow (which I have found to be less true when I am visiting Iceland, but maybe I didn't meet enough people on either visit for it to make much of a difference)--but once you get over that, this is a good murder mystery series--Gunna is a character that you can enjoy as a protagonist, and th etwo book sin the series that I have read have contained current controversies that exist in Iceland today, so it has the advantage of armchair travel--where you learn something about another country simply by reading. "

" Not a bad mystery. The Icelandic names were a bit hard to follow though. "

" Gunna is back. She's the Icelandic Sara Lund. "

" It was a read with little of the existing fauna brought into the dialog. I like to know what the place is about. "

" Loved the first novel "Frozen Assets". Second novel in the series is hard to follow. Those wonderful Icelandic names begin to look the same eventually. Love Gunni, though, and look forward to a sequel. "

" too many awkward, disjointed moments for me to give it a 4 "

" Fun read. I like the main character. She's hard headed and hard working. A fun addition to Icelandic mysteries. "

" Set in post-crash Reykjavik, Cold Comfort devolves into a pile of related corpses with Gunnhilder and her troupe running around like Keystone Cops. Not so fast that you can't keep the victims' identities separate, but not so leisurely that you care about them or the perps. Mildly entertaining. "

" Oh, the tedium! Oy. Could not finish this book, with its glacial pacing and its nearly pulse-less protagonist. "
