About this audiobook
Murder is killing the mood at a yoga tourist destination.
As dawn breaks on the Canary Islands, a fisherman discovers a woman lying dead on the rocks nearby, her body arranged like a piece of art. To solve the case, Chief Inspector Diego Quintana gets unexpected help from Swedish journalist Sara Moberg, who runs the Scandinavian newspaper on the island, as well as from handsome former investigator Kristian Wede. But not even that can stop the killer from striking again.
As the death toll rises, the mood darkens, and Sara and Kristian race to find the killer before another tourist falls prey. But who is the culprit—an island local with a grudge against the tourists, a visitor on the run from trouble in her home country, the womanizing local yoga instructor, or the person they least suspect?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The imagery in this book was astounding. The sights, sounds, smells were all portrayed very vividly. I became frustrated about half way through the book, but everything tied up neatly at the end. I just had to be patient. I liked "The Killer's Art" better. I like the artistic aspect of Jung's writing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The setting is the Canary Islands. A fisherman finds a dead body near the shore and Sara Moberg, publisher of a newspaper for Scandinavian tourists, gets tangled up in the investigation. The publisher's blurb makes it sound as if Chief Inspector Diego Quintana is the center of the story but really Sara takes center stage. She and Quintana have a history, as they say. Kristian Wede, a former police officer, has just arrived as junior staff of the Swedish-Norwegian Consulate and he has a history too.This is the first book in a new series and it is not as tight as it could be, but not so messy as to be unenjoyable. I kept wondering how old Sara and her husband are. There are school-age kids we never meet but somehow their honeymoon was so long ago when they were young.In any case, this is a reasonable story set in an exotic place. The murderer is pretty clear early on, but the motivation and victim selection is not. I found Adriana's POV sections to be a bit tiresome, but then I generally don't like flashbacks in novels.I received a review copy of "A Darker Sky: The Canary Island Series, Book 1" by Mari Jungstedt and Ruben Eliassen trans. Paul Norlen (AmazonCrossing) through NetGalley.com.
