    About this audiobook

    You can run from your past but you can never hide from yourself…

    When John Callum arrives on the wild and desolate Faroe Islands, he vows to sever all ties with his previous life. He desperately wants to make a new start, and is surprised by how quickly he is welcomed into the close-knit community. But still, the terrifying, debilitating nightmares just won't stop.

    Then the solitude is shattered by an almost unheard of crime on the islands: murder. A specialist team of detectives arrives from Denmark to help the local police, who seem completely ill-equipped for an investigation of this scale. But as tensions rise, and the community closes rank to protect its own, John has to watch his back.

    But far more disquieting than that, John's nightmares have taken an even more disturbing turn, and he can't be certain about the one thing he needs to know above all else. Whether he is the killer…

      I found the setting very interesting and learnt something about the relations between Danes and Feronese. The plot was okay.

      Excellent storytelling. The plot is engaging, the characters are interesting and the setting is very original and actually helps driving the story forward too. Yay!
    • 4/5
      The plot was a bit thin on the ground but all the stories surrounding it were good. Loved the history of the faroe Isles, some of the dream sequences were unessasary and long. But over all a good read.
    • 4/5
      A Good development of characters for a very complex ending.
    • 5/5
      What a ride! Great story with deep, rich, interesting characters. Highly recommend.
    • 5/5
      Started off really slow, but kept my interest in the end and the characters were well developed.
    • 5/5
      A very enjoyable read with lots of twists and turns!
    • 4/5
      Well written but a bit long. Great description of Faroe Islands
    • 2/5
      Extremely repetitive. 13 hours too long. Voice over of the females are terrible
    • 5/5
      Ticks all the boxes for a roller coaster read that's gloriously addictive.
      So, don't plan on doing anything else with your life while navigating all the giddying twists and turns... to the brilliant, final truth!!!
