Fleurtje Eliza's Reviews > Ice Town

My first Tuva thriller and I quite enjoyed it for the tense atmosphere (but nothing too creepy, thankfully) and the delicate way some themes were described. Such as people's weird fascination with true crime; the recent, horrific history of how Sami people were treated; the difficulties deaf people are dealing with; the perpetual distrust by women of men and how weary it can make one feel; how nature somehow is of less importance than what people want it to be (mines and ski resorts) – no matter its devastating consequences.

But of course, this being a whodunit, we're in it for the chase of the puzzle, finding clues to piece together some reasoning behind all this. And that is what I thought was a bit lacking... the last victim not being named, the (indeed, very unexpected) killer unveiling a plot that looked a bit thin to me.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.
