Synopsis

No one is more surprised than Rennie to hear that his late grandfather, whom he hardly knew, has left a mission for him to fulfill. Rennie is to fly to Iceland and deliver a message from beyond the grave, but when he gets there, nothing is simple or straightforward. For one thing, Brynja, the teenage daughter of the family he's staying with, is downright hostile. Her father Einar, who is to be Rennie's guide in Iceland, is preoccupied with looking after his elderly father-in-law, an old friend of Rennie's grandfather. Bored and a little bit annoyed, Rennie explores the town and becomes aware that the family is dealing with more than their grief over Brynja's mother's death the year before. Before he realizes what is happening, his curiosity puts Rennie in grave danger, with no one to trust and no one to save him except himself.

Rennie's adventures start in Slide, part of The Seven Prequels and continue in From the Dead, part of The Seven Sequels.

This book can definitely b......more

Goodreads review by PJ

I've never read anything by McClintock before so it wasn't until I finished reading this one that I found out she's actually a crime writer. This is the fifth book I've read from the Seven series and it was the first one that was definitely a crime novel. More specifically, a murder mystery. I enjoy......more

This book started off slow and was hard to get into the character but as the plot progressed, action increased and there was an awesome ending. I just wish it wasn't such a slow start and so much obvious linking to other novels in the series.......more
