Devil's Fjord

By: David Hewson

Narrated by: Saul Reichlin

Newly-appointed District Sheriff Tristan Haraldsen and his wife Elsebeth are looking forward to a peaceful semi-retirement in the remote fishing village of Djevulsfjord on the stunningly beautiful island of Vagar. But when two boys go missing during the first whale hunt of the season, the repercussions strike at the heart of the isolated coastal community. As he pursues his investigations, Tristan discovers that the Mikkelsen brothers aren’t the first young men to have vanished on Vagar. Determined to solve the mystery of Djevulsfjord, yet encountering suspicion wherever he turns, Haraldsen comes to realize he and his wife are not living in the rural paradise they had imagined, and that the wild beauty of the region hides a far darker reality.

An insight into the culture of the Faroe Islands

An insight into the culture of the Faroe Islands. David Hewson chose an unusual and remote location to write a strange tale with interesting and unusual characters. The twists and turns continue until the end making this book another page turner from this author and superbly narrated by Saul Reichlin, as we've all come to expect. A top tier effort once again.

Now *this* is a well written, thought provoking mystery. This book grabs the listener and doesn't let go.
Its leisurely pace allows the fascinating characters and rich local color to creep up on the reader. I tried not too stop too often.
