The book was okay for me. I was initially intrigued by the synopsis and thought I'd give the book a go.

I can't get enough of Tuva, she's such a strong and loving character... this is just another hit in a great series, which I can't recommend highly enough.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this ARC.

i thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was my first Tuva book but I adored her deeply. I had no idea what to expect going in but I enjoyed learning about Sweden, meeting the characters like Johan, Eric and Karin. The ending really did shock me and I didn’t see it coming at all!!!

Once you fell in love with Tuva's stories you want to read them all as one better than the previous. Another gripping, emotional, twisty story that I loved
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

So admittedly, I didn’t realise that this was 6th in a series. Anyone who knows me, knows that reading a book out of order messes with me a little bit. However. I didn’t know it was until I’d finish reading it and this can definitely be enjoyed as a standalone novel. I didnt feel as though I was missing out on too much. There is definitely a backstory, but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment.

This book was set in a very eerie location, which added to the tension throughout the novel.

It is also a book full of unique character; all of whom bring something a little more to the book.

Full of surprises that send the reader on a wild goose chase to try and guess the killer, the book is highly recommended from me to add to your winter tbr!

A chilling thriller! Ice Town is another Tuva tale. However, it can be read as a standalone. I think after reading this, my favourite so far, you will definitely want to read more!
This is a story about a missing boy that Tuva has a connection with due to them both being deaf.y.

Tuva is a strong female character and totally relatable with. Once the story really gets going it is twisty and turny and at times pretty scary. Crime writing at its best!

Ice Town is the sixth book in the Tuva Moodyson series by the immensely talented Will Dean. In this novel, Tuva leaves Gavrik where she works for the local newspaper and heads to Esseberg when a deaf teenager goes missing. Given that Tuva is also deaf she feels she needs to investigate the story in more depth.

Esseberg is the creepiest of locations, accessible only by a tunnel which is closed at night. I felt claustrophobic just thinking about being in a location you cannot leave at night, even in an emergency. The location was stunning and bleak, with the creepiest hotel looming over the town reminiscent of the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s The Shining.

With a number of people going missing, it becomes clear that there is a killer in the town, and the tension rapidly increases as the story progresses.

This exceptional novel really held my attention from the first page to the last.

This was the first Will Dean novel I have read and therefore I went into Ice Town unaware that this was in fact the 6th of the Tuva Moodyson series. However I don’t think this was a bad thing as I loved this story loads. Tuva is great, her snarky comments, and tenacious spirit won me over from the start.
This thriller starts with a missing deaf teenager with journalist Tuva travelling to Esseberg to get the scoop and find out what’s really going on. Loads of twists which I didn’t see coming and I flew through this book in no time.
Can’t wait to read more Will Dean in future.

Gripping, atmospheric and chilling thriller series, which somehow keeps gettiing better and better, although this can definitely be read as a standalone.

Tuva Moodyson is a journalist based in remote Sweden. She is deaf and has already overcome many life-threatening challenges but her bravery keeps increasing.

When Tuva learns of the disapperance of a deaf teenager in an even more remote area of the arctic circle, and in the particularly inhospitable depths of winter, she is determined to report on the story and do what she can to help find him. Even though it means travelling to a town which is accessible only through a tunnel which is closed for lengthy periods and has no permanent police presence.

The isolation and frozen vastness of the sparsely populated location play a huge part in the atmosphere and logistics of these books, making every day a potential battle for survival. Added to this, Tuva's deafness compounds her propensity for isolation and reliance on technology. In certain environments the overlapping noises mean she can pick up very little of conversations, and she may not hear clues that her surroundings have become dangerous. There is much more to this series then Tuva's deafness, but the insights into her daily life are eye-opening and sensitively handled.

Very well written and constantly evolving series, with interesting, nuanced and relatable characters and compelling storylines.

I have read and enjoyed two Will Dean novels prior to ‘Ice Town’, but this is my first encounter with the Tuva Moodyson series and I enjoyed it immensely.
Tuva is a journalist who follows up on a news report of a missing deaf boy in Esseberg, the ‘Ice Town’ of the story, which is on the wrong side of a mountain chain and only accessible via a tunnel that is closed at night. When a body is found Tuva and a fellow journalist begin searching for the truth and get drawn deeper into the mystery.
Full of suspense and with many twists ‘Ice Town’ is another great read from Will Dean.

ONE WAY IN. NO WAY OUT.
'Deaf teenager goes missing in Esseberg. Mountain rescue are launching a search party but conditions hinder their efforts. The tunnel is being kept open all night as an exception.'
When journalist Tuva Moodyson reads this news alert she knows she must join the search. If this teenager is found, she will be able to communicate with him in a way no one else can.
Esseberg lies on the other side of a mountain tunnel: there is only one way in and one way out. When the tunnel closes at night, the residents are left to fend for themselves. And as more people go missing, it becomes clear that there is a killer among them ...

I really enjoyed this, another great Tuva story which doesn't disappoint. The ice town of Esseberg itself is such a character in this book, I could feel the chill and the isolation when the tunnel was closed. Great plot which sped along with plenty of twists. Best read as part of the series so you understand where Tuva is up to, but the tale itself is a good standalone. Definitely recommend.

A chilling atmospheric thriller. Young, deaf, intrepid reporter Tuva Moodyson joins the search for a missing teenager in an isolated town only accessible by a mountain tunnel. But soon more people go missing. The stakes keep rising in this gripping tale.

This is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish
The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns, making it impossible to predict what will happen next.
The writing is both engaging and suspenseful, with well-developed characters that add depth to the narrative.
The pacing of the novel is perfect, with just the right amount of tension to keep readers hooked without feeling overwhelmed.
The setting is vividly described, creating an immersive atmosphere that enhances the overall reading experience.
Highly recommended!

My first Will Dean novel and I really enjoyed it. It's a winding tale giving clues and signs but are they ever real. I liked the character of Tuva and would definitely read more, both of Tuva and Will Dean in general.

I'm a huge Tuva lover and this latest instalment didn't disappoint. Ice Town is the perfect introduction (apart from the first) introduction to Tuva but I recommend you starting from the beginning of the series to get the full experience.

The setting, as always, is eerie and atmospheric which lends itself to the plot impeccably.

I haven’t read very many of Will Deans books and I think I probably would have enjoyed this more if I had known it was part of a series. It was ok but I wouldn’t rush to read more.

Gripping story of a Tuva, a deaf journalist and her hunt for a missing deaf boy in an ice town completely cut off every night. The freezing town hangs over every sentence while the search for the boy becomes a search for a serial killer.

Tuva is a journalist, but not a typical one. So, when she find out about the search for a deaf teenager lost in the mountains, she has her own reasons for joining the search.

There is only one way in and out of Esseberg, which is on the other side of the mountain and is closed at night. Not surprisingly, this means that when there is a killer on the loose, he or she has access to a captive population...

Dean has crafted a gripping, moody thriller which will capture the attention of its readers without too much difficulty. This one gets 3.5 stars.

I have loved every minute of this book. The icy location with a spooky tunnel to gain access, the hotel at the top of a mountain, with only a shaky old chairlift to get to it. All rather mysterious. Then I discovered Tuva - a journalist with a profound hearing loss; what a joy this was for me, as I too suffer with profound hearing loss and could equate with her every step of the way. I have never read a book with a deaf character so it was very interesting.
This book will keep you reading, but then you will have the sadness that comes when you have finished it. It is a story full of suspense that will have you guessing throughout. Wrap up warm to read it.....it gets very cold in Sweden!
Great book.

I have read Mr Dean’s previous books and have loved them… I did not think this one was as great as his previous ones but it was still good.
