Descripción
Hulda Hermannsdóttir reykjavíki rendőrfelügyelő nyugdíjazása előtt két héttel még választhat magának egy utolsó, felderítetlen ügyet pályafutása lezárásaként. Egyetlen eset van, ami sehogy se hagyja nyugodni: az orosz lányé. Bő egy évvel a történtek után Hulda újranyitja az aktákat.
A nyomozás szerteágazó, és messzire vezet, mindenkinek van rejtegetnivalója, és senki sem árulja el a teljes igazságot. Hulda tapasztalt, ravasz nyomozó, rutinosan végzi a dolgát, ám múltjának kísértetei megzavarják a munkáját, és olyan végzetes hibákat követ el, amelyek beláthatatlan következményekkel járnak.
A Sötétséget a Times A 100 legjobb krimi és thriller 1945 óta elnevezésű toplistájába választotta.

Right. I'm currently 3 books into Jonasson's Dark Iceland series and really enjoying it, so I was excited about this series (and really interested in the idea of a story told in reverse). I've come away from it hugely disappointed. The plot felt contrived and rushed and the revelations didn't make any sense at all. There was no depth to any of the characters and the dialogue felt forced throughout. The multiple points of view didn't work for me either. They were clearly written to create a reveal at some point in the book, but those reveals were predictable and didn't have much bearing on the story. I also found the writing really repetitive, with Hulda going over events that we had witnessed multiple times. The book, incredibly, could have been shorter (and probably better) if the instances of going over things we already knew had been cut in half. It's not a long book, I didn't need to be constantly reminded of something that happened 30 pages ago.I don't think the narrator did the book any favours, as she didn't seem to let the book breathe as she read it, often sprinting through sentences in the name of dramatic tension. Overall, this was a real miss for me, and I don't have any interest in continuing the series.
