About this listen
From the author of the international best seller Let the Right One In.
They only stopped watching her for a matter of minutes. That was all it took.
It was a beautiful winter's day. Anders, his wife and their feisty six-year-old, Maja, set out across the ice of the Swedish archipelago to visit the lighthouse on Gavasten. There was no one around, so they let her go on ahead. And she disappeared, seemingly into thin air, and was never found.
Two years later, Anders is a broken alcoholic, his life ruined. He returns to the archipelago, the home of his childhood and his family. But all he finds are Maja's toys and through the haze of memory, loss and alcohol, he realizes that someone - or something - is trying to communicate with him.
Soon enough, his return sets in motion a series of horrifying events which exposes a mysterious and troubling relationship between the inhabitants of the remote island and the sea.

Dour sea tale
Dour bleak & humourless tale of waves and bloodlines. Well-written, gripping, fatefully monotonous. Fascinating without anyone in particular to care about, It carries you through a visceral experience of elemental powers. Just wierd.

Ajvides writing is nice, atmospheric portraits. But he rarely makes sense of the convoluted threadsand mysteries

Imaginative and engrossing
What made the experience of listening to Harbour the most enjoyable?
The imagery conjured up by both the author and narrator were brilliant - totally absorbing. There are some very interesting and varied characters, and some nicely balanced back plots.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Harbour?
I don't want to spoil the story, so I'll just say there are a few ghostly moments that were really gripping!
Which character – as performed by Julian Rhind-Tutt. – was your favourite?
The main character, Anders, is my favourite as he is so emotionally engaging. The narrators reading and beautiful pronunciation of the Swedish names really made this audio book something special for me.
Any additional comments?
Okay it's not perfect, but for me it just worked!

I hope there was some missing...
I didn't enjoy any of this at all. The bits I did understand were completely bizarre, I know there are some "out there" bits in Jo Nesbo or Stieg Larson, but nothing as confusing and ridiculous as in this book. I'm at a loss to understand why it's been recommended at all for people who've enjoyed other Scandinavian Crime novels. I hope that the previous reviewer is correct, and that there are chunks missing from the download that would miraculously make it work. But I'm not convinced anything could help. Mis-sold. Don't bother.

Dire!
Would you try another book written by John Ajvide Lindqvist or narrated by Julian Rhind-Tutt.?
I would think twice buying another book from the same author
Has Harbour put you off other books in this genre?
No
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Julian Rhind-Tutt.?
Nothing wrong with the Narrator.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. The plot sounded good. Persevered for 8 hours, but then gave up..sorry
