The Killing Bay

This book was amazing!! I wanted to read a book set in Faroes and found this one at my library. I was not disappointed! The setting was fantastic. We get a feel for the islands and what life is like there. I really appreciated the pronunciation guide in the front. It helped me pronounce them closer to correctly as I was reading. That also helped me feel like I was on the Faroe Islands as I was reading.
The investigation was the primary narrative in the book and I really enjoyed it. We see the interviews and talk to the specialists that are dealing with the other information. The step by step look at the investigation also made it easier to get a glimpse into the personal lives of the the investigators. So we get to know them and see a little bit of what they are going through without getting too much excess drama.
While the investigation is going on, we see Shan Reyna searching for some of his own family history. I liked seeing his outsider perspective of the Faores because it made it easier to get to know the Faroes in a realistic way.
The ending made me want to pick up book 3 immediately. It is a great set up and I can't wait to see what happens.
