Dreadful.When I read this kind of bad book,trying to be charitable,I sometimes wonder if they're not intended as a (badly done) parody,but no, it's just plain awful.

This was queerly inspired by Carpenter's 80's and 90's work with a similar score and "tryin' to survive" in a claustrophobic location with an external threat. De flap had me al meteen mee. Hannah, een auteur die wel erg zeker is van zichzelf, moet in dertig dagen een thriller schrijven - wat helemaal buiten haar comfort zone is maar ze sloot een weddenschap af met een collega auteur, Jorn, die ze verfoeid - en hoe kan het ook anders, stuit tijdens het schrijfproces op enkele geheimen.

Retrieved October 13, 2006.Such a clever, original twist on the Nordic Noir tradition – darkly humorous and utterly captivating’ Eva Björg Ægisdóttir The first thing I loved about this book was that stunning cover. I hadn’t fully taken it in when I received the book, but once I’d found my reading glasses I couldn’t stop looking at it. That tiny lit up window, a little orange glow of creativity in the darkness really fired up my imagination. I’d love Orenda to create some book posters to accompany their author’s work. The blurb drew me in with it’s conflict between genre authors and their supposedly high brow literary fiction colleagues. Hannah writes literary fiction and is dismayed at a book festival to see the crowds attending a Q and A with Jørn Jenson, the darling of Scandi Noir, who churns out a formulaic book every year. Yet he’s filling a tent with fans and she’s in a lonely booth waiting for someone to drop by. I loved that she launched a book at his head! In the ensuing row, Jensen goads Hannah into saying she could write a crime novel in a month. Her agent uses the incident as a great marketing strategy and pours fuel on the fire, talking to the press about the wager and even putting Hannah on a plane to Iceland as a writing retreat. There she will live with a lady called Ella and hopefully, within thirty days, complete a commercial success. Yet within days of Hannah’s arrival there’s a real life crime, as Ella’s nephew Thor is found drowned in the waters of the harbour. Can Hannah use the case to write her crime masterpiece? As she starts to ask questions about this small town community will she find inspiration, or will she be in more danger than she ever imagined? When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Hú safjö ð ur – a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colorful local characters – for inspiration. Atmospheric, dramatic and full of nerve-jangling twists and turns, Thirty Days of Darkness is a darkly funny, unsettling debut thriller that marks the start of a breathtaking new series.

Og ellers markedsføre ‘Tredive dages mørke’ som den krimi-pastiche, den nu engang er. Så er jeg sikker på, at alle med et had/kærligheds-forhold til Nordic Noir, vil grine sig igennem romanen, ligesom jeg gjorde. Men dedikerede krimilæsere, der forventer et godt krimiplot og måske starten på en ny, dansk krimiserie, risikerer at blive skuffede, hvis ikke de lige er i stødet til en humoristisk vinkel på sagen.
The protagonist (a raging alcoholic author) is terribly obnoxious and immature, she was so annoying it became comical. Not sure if this is what was intended as such.

Set during a bleak Icelandic autumn, the compelling mystery novel Thirty Days of Darkness concerns family secrets and forbidden love. I really enjoyed this book. There's a kind of 'Murder She Wrote' vibe to it all, with the author turned amateur detective angle, albeit that Hannah, whilst quite observant, is far more inept than Jessica Fletcher. She's just as big a magnet for trouble though and when trouble finds her, it likes to play a merry game. Fun for us as readers, a bit less fun for our protagonist. This is a classic murder mystery case, perhaps slightly too atmospheric and dark to be cost crime, but blending the suspense and intrigue with a good dose of humour, often at Hannah's expense.Jonah Weiland (July 22, 2002). "Niles Looks Forward to At Least '30 Days' of Screen Time". Comic Book Resources . Retrieved October 13, 2006. Tijdens haar onderzoek naar de moordenaar stuit Hannah op duistere geheimen en zaken die ze beter met rust had kunnen laten. Zal het haar lukken om de dader te vinden? En lukt het haar om ondertussen de weddenschap te winnen? Witty, dark, meta, ingenious and hugely compelling. I LOVED the Icelandic setting and satirical observations. EXCELLENT’Will Dean
