Story
In the fishing community of Fjällbacka, life is remote, peaceful—and for some, tragically short. Foul play was always suspected in the disappearance 20 years ago of two young holidaymakers in the area. Now a young boy out playing has confirmed this grim truth. Their remains, discovered with those of a fresh victim, send the town into shock. Local detective Patrik Hedstrom, expecting a baby with his girlfriend Erica, can only imagine what it is like to lose a child.

Story
It was a crime of senseless violence. On a cold night in a remote Swedish farmhouse, an elderly farmer was bludgeoned to death, his wife left to die with a noose around her neck. As if this didn't present enough problems for Ystad police inspector Kurt Wallander, the dying woman's last word, his only tangible clue, were foreign. If publicized, they could be the match that would inflame Sweden's already smoldering anti-immigrant sentiments.

Story
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.

Hire Simon Vance to (flawlessly) interpret the loves, lives, and murders of Sweden’s cold and secret-filled world. A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue. It's about the disappearance 40 years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden.

Secrets can be deadly!
THE ICE PRINCESS is the first of a series written by Scandinavian author, Camilla. Lackberg. She definitely gets the flavor of secrets too long hidden in a small fishing town. When author, Erica returns to her hometown to deal with her old home after her parents death, she finds a lot more than she had bargained for. First of all, her wife beating brother in law is forcing the sale of their family home which Erica loves but she can't afford to buy out her sister's 1/2 share. Then she decides to visit a childhood best girlfriend, Alex, that she hasn't seen in years and finds her in a tub of frozen water with her wrists slashed.
Erica has been asked to write a short article about her friend's life. She begins research by meeting with an old childhood sweetheart, Patrick, who is now a policeman. Together, they determine that Alex's death was not a suicide but was murder. As they work together, getting all the local gossip, they rekindle their love and find more hidden secrets from the town's past. Secrets that kept hidden, caused more grief and sorrow for the town's residents than one could imagine.
I really enjoyed this book, but found the huge cast of characters a bit daunting to begin with. This is definitely one of those book where you need to sit down for a couple of long reading periods rather than reading in short bursts. The story line kept me intrigued, and though I kind of knew where the story line was taking me, I was fooled in the end. Plan on continuing this series for sure.

Difficult to get through.
I was very disappointed in this audio book. I thought the story was interesting, and I wanted to listen, but for me, the narrator was just not right. He is definitely more suited to a period novel. And he was too British sounding. I felt like I was listening to a story taking place in the east end of London. It was very distracting, and made this a difficult listen for me, and I really wanted to like it.

Interesting story line
This was an interesting story with some novel ideas and approaches. It kept me engaged for the most part. It was not clear who the killer was and it took a while to figure out all the characters and sub-plots but it was a good read with unpredictable twists and turns. I especially liked the 'maid/mother' character and her relationship with her 'employer'. It was refreshing when she was finally able to speak her 'truth'.
I liked the reader's accent and manner of speech.

Like an unfinished dress
What did you love best about The Ice Princess?
The story was was an original take on a pervasive societal problem.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the setting which was the reason I chose the book.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator sounded like an older British gentleman so did all the characters. Since many of the characters were female and blonde it was hard to imagine them as anything but old and dowdy with this narrator. I was frequently confused about who was talking.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
I will look for this author again but not this narrator.

Despite the narration, I loved this story
You will read many reviews about the bad narration for this book. It is true that the choice of narrator was unfortunate, so to listen to this book successfully, I decided to ignore the quality of the narration and concentrate on the story. I am so glad I did, because the audio book was wonderful. I found it easy to get immersed in the story. I even made up reasons to go out on errands so that I could listen to more of this compelling mystery during my drive. I absolutely love dark Scandinavian mysteries (Stieg Larrson, Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell, etc.), especially if the setting is during Winter. Camilla Lackberg has now been added to my regular listening schedule. Her characters are so well developed that after only a few paragraphs, I found myself thinking "I know someone just like that" -- but, the author made them funnier. In particular, I fell in love with the main characters, Patrik Hedstrom and Erica Falck. The small coastal Swedish town sounds so charming that I looked it up the internet to see if you could travel there easily. When I read this was the first book by this young author, I was surprised because her talent matches some of the very best mystery writing that have been around a long time. She has done an outstanding job of writing a well-paced, exciting story. I hope she has a very long career and all her books get translated.

A Frozen Mystery
I don't think this was a particularly great novel, nor do I think it was rubbish. It has the challenges of a writers first novel. I think that the writer weaves an interesting story, but the reader is not really give the opportunity to weave the answers. Too many things are hidden from us. A note, or a discovery that we don't get to see until after the fact. I liked the characters well enough. Patrik and Erica were good, but they weren't perfect. Erica was a little weak, but I do think there is enough to build upon, so I will give the series a second look. There are a few unresolved issues, that I would hope get resolved in the second book, otherwise, it's a big letdown, since it was made a pretty big conflict in the story.

Fine for Driving Across Country/ NPR Pledge Season
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A more appropriate narrator would have made this a 3-star audiobook, but the writing was just not of a 4 or 5 star quality. It certainly compares badly to those of other Scandinavian writers like Henning Mankell or Jo Nesbo.
Would you recommend The Ice Princess to your friends? Why or why not?
I would not recommend that anyone purchase the book / audiobook for themselves. It is the sort of book that you might read/listen to if you are on vacation and find it left behind by someone else. As an audiobook, it did the job of entertaining me while driving, but it took me months to get through and I never felt the need to listen beyond a 20 minute drive. Although the author was able to competently sustain suspense, I spent much of the time rolling my eyes at the clumsy and clichéd descriptions and dialogue. And it is difficult not to constantly think of how good it could have been in the hands of a deeper and more imaginative writer.
What didn’t you like about David Thorn’s performance?
The performance was perfectly competent, but he was a poor choice of narrator. A younger man or a woman would have been more appropriate, as the main protagonists were a 30-something man and woman. The narrator was unable to read the dialogue in a way that was not distracting. The younger male characters were all indistinguishable from the old men.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It was not good enough that I looked forward to listening to it, but not bad enough that I would have rather sat in silence or listened to an NPR pledge-break while driving.

Translate more of Camilla Lackberg's books
Would you listen to The Ice Princess again? Why?
This book is a fun read. I'll definitely listen to it again. I'm not quite finished with it 13 minutes. I got online to see if there are more books by Lackberg
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ice Princess?
When Erica's sister leaves her husband the the act that precipitates her leaving.
What about David Thorn’s performance did you like?
I liked his very light accent and his ability to change voice so well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I took the book to bed and each time I fell asleep I'd have to wind back to the last thing I remembered.
Any additional comments?

Most Annoying Voice and Way Too Slow
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator was monotonous to listen to and I finally gave up and read it on my Kindle. He reads very, very slowly. I use Audible.com downloads when I run and the performance was so slow I had to speed it up. It was like listening to a chipmunk read! I'm a huge fan of Scandanavian mysteries - Larsson, Mankel, Nesbo, etc., and looked forward to trying Lackberg. She's a little simplistic and not my favorite.
