Great Story 3 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Have just finished Edge of Nowhere - great story. I've read all of MR's books and his latest series, featuring detective Magnus, based in Iceland is exceptional. Do yourself a favour - download this book onto your Kindle, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Must read 2 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Textured and gripping 30 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Michael Ridpath's short story is a murder mystery that takes us to one of the most isolated and wild corners of Iceland. Against this exotic backdrop comes an array characters from the ravishingly blonde mayoress of the remote town of Bolungarvik to a curmudgeonly suspect of a fisherman who had 'the rock-hard face of a man who spent a couple of decades battling the North Atlantic.' Magnus, the main charecter and former Boston homicide detective, will be familiar to readers of Ridpath's Fire & Ice series. This is suspense short story writing at its finest; much unfolded in very few words. I read over the course of a day on an I-phone.
