Into Thin Air

The Arctic Mysteries, Book 1

By: Orjan Karlsson

Narrated by: Marston York

When 19-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears during a run in a popular hiking area in Bodø, Northern Norway, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. For investigator Jakob Weber, the case seems clear-cut, almost unexceptional, even though there is some suggestion that Iselin lived parts of her life beneath the radar of both family and friends. But events take a dramatic turn when another woman disappears in similar circumstances - this time on the island of Røst, hundreds of miles off the coast, in the wild ocean.

Rumours that a killer is on the loose begin to spread, terrifying the local population and leading to wild conspiracies. But then Jakob discovers that this isn't the first time that young women have vanished without a trace in the region, and it becomes clear that someone is hiding something - and another murderous spree may have just begun. . .

1) the ending. Great surprise. Kept you engaged the whole time

Really enjoyed the book. Listened to it on Audible. Very good. Kept me engaged the whole time and I like the back and forth

Excellent!

As an avid mystery/police procedural/thriller fan, and audible listener, I can say that Into Thin Air is an interesting and well written story. The excellent narration complements it perfectly.

Torture porn

Disturbing - had to quit. Also, what’s with British narrators who give Norwegian characters a variety of British regional accents? Very distracting! But it was the subject matter that did me in - he lingers over details of rape and torture of women.
