About this listen

Moving to remote Shetland has been unsettling enough for consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton; even before the gruesome discovery she makes one rain-drenched afternoon...Deep in the peat soil of her field she is shocked to find the perfectly preserved body of a young woman, a gaping hole where her heart has been brutally removed and three rune marks etched into her skin. The marks bear an eerie resemblance to carvings Tora has seen all over the islands, and she quickly uncovers disturbing links to an ancient legend. But as Tora investigates she is warned by the local police, her boss, and even her husband, to leave well alone.

And even though it chills her to the bone to admit it...something tells her their concern isn't genuine.

This was my first Sharon Bolton and will definitely be reading more.
The only real issue was the narrator. Her voice was too old for the characters and her emphasis made it sound as if the characters were bored.

Great story, not so great narration

A great story with some good twists and turns. Shame about the narrator, she was obviously much older than the age of the main character so it was a challenge at the beginning to get an image of her. Sounds obvious, but narration has such a big impact on an audio book. Who ever casts them should listen to their previous work to see if they are suitable for that particular book.

Thrilling
