The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir

The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I had never read this author before though I have been to Iceland. The novella was translated from the Icelandic language and the translator did a very good job. The storyline, which I wont really go into, is interesting and a quick read, with no downtime due to inane dialogue, as many modern books tend to do. The story is a dread inducing one, yet the ending is rather abrupt, maybe setting up a longer book or a sequel?
