Arora becomes involved in the search for an Icelandic woman who
disappeared from her home while making dinner, as she continues to
hunt for her missing sister. The second breathtaking instalment in
the chilling, addictive An Arora Investigation series... 'Icelandic
crime-writing at its finest ... immersive and unnerving' Shari
Lapena 'Chilly and chilling ... Lilja Sigurdardottir's terrific
investigator Arora is back for another tense and thrilling read.
Highly recommended!' Tariq Ashkanani 'Lilja Sigurdardottir is
rapidly becoming my favourite Icelandic writer. She doesn't waste a
word as she creates her twisty mysteries and her sly sense of
humour highlights her clear-eyed view of human nature' The Times
'The Icelandic scenery and weather are beautifully evoked - you can
almost feel the autumn fog seeping up from the pages - but it is
the corkscrew twists that make it both chilling and mesmerising'
Daily Mail _____________________________ When entrepreneur Flosi
arrives home for dinner one night, he discovers that his house has
been ransacked, and his wife Gudrun missing. A letter on the
kitchen table confirms that she has been kidnapped. If Flosi
doesn't agree to pay an enormous ransom, Gudrun will be killed.
Forbidden from contacting the police, he gets in touch with Arora,
who specialises in finding hidden assets, and she, alongside her
detective friend Daniel, try to get to the bottom of the case
without anyone catching on. Meanwhile, Arora and Daniel continue
the puzzling, devastating search for Arora's sister Isafold, who
disappeared without trace. As fog descends, in a cold and rainy
Icelandic autumn, the investigation becomes increasingly dangerous,
and confusing. Chilling, twisty and unbearably tense, Red as Blood
is the second instalment in the riveting, addictive An Arora
Investigation series, and everything is at stake...
