About this listen

After a messy divorce, attractive young mother Sonia is struggling to provide for herself and keep custody of her son.

With her back to the wall, she resorts to smuggling cocaine into Iceland and finds herself caught up in a ruthless criminal world. As she desperately looks for a way out of trouble, she must pit her wits against her nemesis, Bragi, a customs officer whose years of experience frustrate her new and ever more daring strategies.

Things become even more complicated when Sonia embarks on a relationship with a woman, Agla. Once a high-level bank executive, Agla is currently being prosecuted in the aftermath of the Icelandic financial crash.

Set in a Reykjavík still covered in the dust of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption, and with a dark, fast-paced and chilling plot and intriguing characters, Snare is an outstandingly original and sexy Nordic crime thriller from one of the most exciting new names in crime fiction.

I like the twists and turns. I read this as an ebook before listening to it as an audio book. Enjoyed thoroughly

The story is relatively short and the chapters are cut into short chunks so in theory, you should be able to pass through them in no time. In reality, it becomes a struggle as the whole plot feels really stretched. One would expect at least some suspense or plot twist at the end. Well, there sort of is one, very poorly written that it doesn't at all compensate for the lost time. In short, save your time and money and go for something else.

good performance of a very mediocre story
