About this listen

ONE WAY IN. NO WAY OUT.
'Deaf teenager goes missing in Esseberg. Mountain rescue are launching a search party but conditions hinder their efforts. The tunnel is being kept open all night as an exception.'
When journalist Tuva Moodyson reads this news alert she knows she must join the search. If this teenager is found, she will be able to communicate with him in a way no one else can.
Esseberg lies on the other side of a mountain tunnel: there is only one way in and one way out. When the tunnel closes at night, the residents are left to fend for themselves. And as more people go missing, it becomes clear that there is a killer among them ...
ICE TOWN is an unputdownable new standalone Tuva novel, which will delight existing fans of the series and bring many new readers to it.©2024 Will Dean (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Tuva braver than ever in this edge of your seat read!
You feel so intimately connected to Tuva in this book, and acutely feel her sheer terror and vulnerability during some of the more chilling scenes of this book. Really loved it. Is

Stay for the interview at the end
In this outstanding series, Will Dean has yet to put a foot wrong, and Ice Town continues the trend. However, this instalment is a point of departure in other ways, which happily secure the longevity of the series. Firstly, Tuva is working a long way from home, secondly she asserts herself professionally with her boss Lena, in a way that she hasn't really done before, and then there are the personal developments that really took me by surprise. This gives Dean the scope to do a lot more with this wonderful character in the future.
It has been about 2 years since the madness of the previous books. While Tuva has been dealing with the most difficult of personal circumstances at home, her work as Deputy Editor at the Gavrik Posten has been thankfully routine and unremarkable. But when she learns that a deaf teenager has gone missing in the far north of Sweden, her journalistic instincts kick in and almost before we know it, she has hit the road in her trusty Hilux to drive non-stop into the Arctic Circle.
Her destination is Esseberg - Ice Town - which is only accessible by a single-lane tunnel. One way in, same way out, provided the conditions are right and the stars align! Esseberg used to be a top ski resort, but with failing infrastructure its heyday is in the distant past and the small local population makes its living from much more mundane industry, such as the local powerstation. But a relic of the glory days still exists in the form of the big hotel up on the mountain, which can only be accessed by chairlift. The only other accommodation is the small B&B in the township, that actually doesn't provide the second B. It's a lot cheaper, so with Lena's tight budget in mind, Tuva opts to stay there. She's quickly on the case; talking to police, getting involved in the search party, and meeting with the missing young man's grandmother. Then a body is discovered in the snow...
This is a great story with a most unexpected ending. I always look forward to Tuva's exploits, but now that her world has expanded so much, I'm desperate for more!
As always I opted for the audiobook edition, narrated by Maya Lindh, who brings Tuva and her world to life. At the end there is an extended chat between Will Dean and his sensitivity reader (Deafinitely Girly), which was really worth a listen. They discuss deafness of course, but also reflect on the 6-book arc of Tuva's personal growth, and thoughts on the the upcoming TV series. Happily there is also a mention of plans for #7.
