About this listen
The first in an exciting new series from the author of The Silence of the Sea, winner of the 2015 Petrona Award for best Scandinavian crime novel.
The only witness to a shocking murder is the victim's 10-year-old daughter, Margret. The police turn to the Children's House for their expertise in childhood trauma.
The manager, Freyja, doesn't much like the police - especially the detective in charge, Huldar. But she does want to help them protect Margret.
And when more people die - their murders heralded by strange messages, texts, and strings of numbers - they will have to work together to crack the riddle before they become targets themselves.

A captivating tale
Yrsa crafts a story in a way most writers can only dream of. The thread is always there, it’s just a matter of following to where it leads. Absolutely captivating, I found it difficult to stop listening. If you like a good tale, that’s also a thriller, I cannot recommend this enough.

Gripping
Intricate plot, interesting characters, grim Scandi Noir atmosphere. Enjoyed it a lot! Perfect for a lazy long weekend!

Twists turns tension
First book by this author really enjoyed the narration and the drawing out of the characters. Excellent plot looking forward to the next book

Enjoyable but the horror seems gratuitious
I really enjoyed the characters and storyline of The Legacy. I think I was looking for a little more description of Icelandic culture and its unique environment, and like I said, some of the horrifying detail could have been left out.

Great crime. Sigurdardottir my pick of Scandinavia
Cleverly plotted classic crime, albeit
with a taste of twisted gore. First novel of hers to date and going back for more.
