Michael Ridpath's short story/novella, 'Edge of Nowhere', makes for an enthralling read. The Icelandic snowy wastes, turbulent sea and climate provide an atmosphere of expectancy to this story. The characters of the small coastal town don't let up on you. You can't take a break for tea. You have to know what's next. They range from locals with odd superstitions, a glamorous Mayoress and a hard-living fisherman to Detective Magnus and his colleagues, who can't resist a bit of leg-pulling. Magnus is determine to solve this crime regardless.
The reader's journey through intrigue, folk lore and humour with this cast of characters is an amazing ride. Warmth and humour is pitched just right to colour this adventure in a country cold, dark, yet highlighted by the aurora borealis. It will capture, sustain and satisfy your imagination - this time. Be warned - you'll want more of Michael Ridpath's wonderful books.
