The Flatey Enigma Audiobook, by Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson
Daybreak Audiobook, by Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson

Publisher Description

On a cold January morning in 1973, inside a stately old house in Reykjavik, blood pools around Jacob Kieler Junior from a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. Detective Jóhann Pálsson, an expert in the emerging field of forensics, is called to the scene and soon discovers something more unsettling than the murder itself: the deceased’s father, Jacob Kieler Senior, a railroad engineer, was shot to death in the same living room nearly thirty years earlier. The case was officially closed as a botched robbery.

Pálsson soon uncovers diaries that portray Kieler Senior as an ambitious man dedicated to bringing the railroad to Iceland no matter the cost. Sensing a deeper and darker mystery afoot, the detective and his colleagues piece together through the elder Kieler’s diaries a family history rich with deceit…

"My first Icelandic mystery novel. I enjoyed being transported to a new world although I had a bit of trouble following some of the character names."

    " The history of Iceland and the 2 World Wars was interesting, but the story was a bit tedious and didn't get rolling until the last 1/4 or so of the book. "

    " I tried to read this story, interested in the begining of the use of forensics in police work. It was too dry and dragged on for too long. I lost interest in the story. "

    " This is a good mystery and well translated. Contrary to a few others' opinion, it makes complete sense to retain the original unpronouncable Icelandic names. Who cares, are we reading aloud? The story is a bit long, but the ending concluded well and surprised me. "

    " Interesting. Icelandic mystery. Author writes well or is translated well. "
