About this listen

On a jagged, bleak lava field just outside Reykjavik stands the Gallows Rock. Once a place of execution, it is now a tourist attraction. Until this morning, when a man was found hanging from it....

The nail embedded in his chest proves it wasn't suicide. But when the police go to his flat, a further puzzle awaits: a four-year-old boy has been left there. He doesn't seem to have any link with the victim, his parents cannot be found and his drawings show he witnessed something terrible.

As Detective Huldar hunts the killer and Child Psychologist Freyja looks for the boy's parents, the mystery unfolds: a story of violence, entitlement and revenge.

good

I liked it, but it felt a little like a filler entry. The mystery was solid but not hugely compelling. The characters got some nice development, though, and the plotting was as careful and deliberate as ever, with a grim little twist at the end.

Oh, also, I love the new characters (the eager new graduate officer and the giant snake, lol)
