The story didn’t seem to start out that way which was a surprise to me. Then when other hunters were killed, it still seemed to me that there was going to be an explanation.
As the story and the plot built, I would say that there wasn’t a lot of tension for me. When the detectives were trying to answer the various quizzes that the killer gave them, my interest was fading even more. Usually, I don’t quit on a book and I was interested to see what was going to happen.
I have to admit that that was when the story really built up for me, especially at the end. I think that as a writer, if you’re able to build the mystery up and create a unique type of story that justifies the end, then you did your job as a writer. I really have to give Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson credit for doing this.
I was more than surprised on how he built the story up. It really sneaks up on you and I liked the way he did it. The story had great characters and the ending will be a memorable one for me.
There were some things left in the air so I wonder if that will be in the next book. It seems like this can be a great series that I will keep up with.
I thought by the time this story would be over, I would only give this book three stars. Now that I have finished it, I will give it four stars. I would have given it five if there was a little more suspense in the story. I thought that could have been done but I enjoyed the book enough to say that I would like to continue to read more books by Viktor Amar Ingolfsson.
