Six Stories | Matt Wesolowski
post image
Pickpick

Here's Delilah Bard snuggling with another 2019 favorite of mine: Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski. I've heard lots of fantastic things about this story ever since it came out and they are all true! I definitely can't wait to continue this series.

4,5/5 stars.

Six Stories | Matt Wesolowski

"There is evil in the world. There is definitely evil in this world of ours. We carve monuments to our fallen, engrave them with the names of those whose lives were snuffed out when trying to stop evil. We don't forget."

#ruralsetting?! I had to photograph the Dark Iceland series which follows young policeman, Ari Thor, as he solves unexpected murders in the remote town of Siglufjordur in Northern Iceland.
•Fun Fact: Jonasson translates Agatha Christie novels into Icelandic.
•"Funner" Fact: White Out (#5) comes out in October!!

Gissy Which is the order? Sounds interesting! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Gissy I put them in order starting with Snowblind. 😊 Snowblind was just published in the U.S. about 1-2 months ago. I got these books from Book Depository and they were published in the U.K. 7y
Gissy Ok than you! 7y
JazzFeathers This sounds such an interesting series. And l love your pic. It actually feels... Iceland;) 7y
Jess_Read_This @JazzFeathers Thank you! It really is a great series. I would call it one of my favorites. I like it because it is a savor kind of read. It's not fast paced and the descriptions of Iceland are haunting, stark, and gorgeous at the same time. 7y

Ari Thor is shaping up to be a new bookcrush candidate. I'm about 70 pages in. Jonasson's storytelling ability is outstanding. He's slowly building the plot and introducing the characters with a deliberate intent. I am loving it. ❄️

elliemcc11 I got this pre-publication and never quite managed to finish it...not sure why though. 7y
Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 I just finished it and really enjoyed it! I'm already looking into getting the second one! 7y
elliemcc11 Maybe I wasn't in a reading mood...I just can't remember now 🤔 7y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 I've had those moods! I found this one to be very character driven and the plot moved along in the background. Which is completely opposite of a lot of crime fiction I've read before. 7y
elliemcc11 I usually love Scandinavian crime novels as well! 7y
Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 This one was my first! Have you read Sarah Blaedel? I saw he had one of her books posted on his IG page 7y
elliemcc11 I haven't as yet but have one waiting in the wings. I think she's Danish. 7y
Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 Let me know if you get to it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on her books! I'm hoping I can find a copy at the library here. 7y
elliemcc11 I'll see if I can find it in my shelves and will post a pic. I've read quite a few Scandinavian so happy to recommend. Some are easy reads and usually have good characters to get into. 7y
