Long-buried secrets go hand in hand with modern-day murder in this second thriller featuring attorney Th�ra Gudmundsd��ttir from Iceland's queen of crime fiction
When the body of a young woman��badly beaten and with pins inserted into her feet��is found at a New Age health resort in a renovated farmhouse, lawyer and single mother of two Th��ra Gudmundsd��ttir is called upon to represent the chief suspect, the resort's owner. But upon her arrival she encounters more than a fresh corpse��local legend has it that the resort, located in the mystical region of Sn?fellsnes on Iceland's west coast, is haunted. At first Th��ra dismisses the claims as nothing more than myth and superstition, but even she can't explain the bizarre occurrences she witnesses in her search for answers.
As Th��ra digs deeper into the farm's past, she discovers long-buried information on the property's disturbing history, and her once-solid view of reality begins to waver. Are the hauntings real, or just a case of folklore gone wild? And, more important, does the farm's eerie past have something to do with the murder? When another body is discovered��looking very much like the first�Th��ra is forced to put aside her doubts and confront the horrors of the present before a twisted killer strikes again.
With its confident plotting, chilling atmosphere, and smart, compelling heroine, My Soul to Take confirms Yrsa Sigurdard�ttir as a new maven of mysteries..
