Acerca de esta escucha
From Ragnar Jónasson, the award-winning author of the international best-selling Ari Thór series, The Girl Who Died is a stand-alone thriller about a young woman seeking a new start in a secluded village where a small community is desperate to protect its secrets.
Teacher Wanted At the Edge of the World
Una wants nothing more than to teach, but she has been unable to secure steady employment in Reykjavík. Her savings are depleted, her love life is nonexistent, and she cannot face another winter staring at the four walls of her shabby apartment. Celebrating Christmas and ringing in 1986 in the remote fishing hamlet of Skálar seems like a small price to pay for a chance to earn some teaching credentials and get her life back on track.
But Skálar isn’t just one of Iceland’s most isolated villages, it is home to just 10 people. Una’s only students are two girls aged seven and nine. Teaching them only occupies so many hours in a day and the few adults she interacts with are civil but distant. She only seems to connect with Thór, a man she shares an attraction with but who is determined to keep her at arm’s length.
As darkness descends throughout the bleak winter, Una finds herself more often than not in her rented attic space - the site of a local legendary haunting - drinking her loneliness away. She is plagued by nightmares of a little girl in a white dress singing a lullaby. And when a sudden tragedy echoes an event long buried in Skálar’s past, the villagers become even more guarded, leaving a suspicious Una seeking to uncover a shocking truth that’s been kept secret for generations.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

When a young woman is found brutally murdered in her own apartment with an intricate pattern of lines carved into her face, Copenhagen police detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are assigned to the case. Soon, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who’s a bit too fond of drink and the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also turns out to be a budding novelist - and when Julie turns up as a murder victim in the unfinished mystery she’s writing, the link between fiction and real life grows.

Historia
When Bruce Jansen ascends to the White House, he is a changed man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary. Rights are taken away as quickly as weapons. International travel becomes impossible. Checkpoints and roadblocks destroy infrastructure. The media is censored. Militias declare civil war on the government. The country is in chaos, and Jansen's former friends each find themselves fighting a very different battle, for themselves, their rights, their country... and, in Doggie's case, the life of her father, who just may be innocent.

Historia
Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Written Beautifully and very Interesting

The story begins when Una, a young aimless and unsettled woman, takes a teaching job on the other side of the country from her hometown of Reykjavik. Skalar is an isolated village with only 10 residents and everyone naturally knows each other. So, Una immediately feels even more isolated. But these feelings transform into inner terror when she "sees" a young girl in the house where she will be living.
The ghost story is mixed with a murder mystery when we learn about the death of two young men, the body of only one that has been recovered.
Una's life -- stuck in the middle of nowhere with no friends close by -- is taut with danger and foreboding.
The narrator Amanda Redman does a nice job. Her voice is clear and she distinguishes the various characters well.
If you like ghost stories, this one is for you. (The mystery doesn't really kick in until near the end so it was a tad disappointing in that regard.) But overall, this was a good read.

The characters are all so interesting and the location is truly other worldly and of a kind.
A brilliant mystery narrated beautifully by Amanda Redman (always a delight).
Would love for this book to be part of a series or at least have a sequel.
Phenomenal character development and RJ knows how to truly draw the listener/reader all the way in to his incredible narratives.
This is a wonderful novel in every conceivable way.
Pure perfection.
Easiest 5 stars I’ve given in a very long time.
