THE OWL ALWAYS HUNTS AT NIGHT Holger Munch and Mia Kruger, Book 2

Set in Norway, this psychological thriller is an audiobook in true Nordic noir style, with the investigators facing their own demons as well as those of the killer. When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in strange circumstances, an investigation that challenges the investigation team begins. Laura Paton helps to build the atmosphere of this dark and twisted plot with her narration, which is spot-on in terms of both pace and characterization. Both the male and female characters are well distinguished, a strength that helps listeners follow the complex plot. Her reading of this dark story builds the atmosphere while keeping the listener engaged throughout. Her authentic-sounding pronunciation of unfamiliar names and places paints a picture of Norway at its bleakest. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2017]
