Black Ice audiobook – The Scot Harvath Series, Book 20

I found myself curled up under a soft blanket on a chilly evening, sipping on my chamomile tea when I began listening to Black Ice by Brad Thor. As a 30-year-old American woman with a penchant for mystery thrillers, I was ready to be whisked away into the covert world of Scot Harvath. The narration by Armand Schultz enveloped me in the story’s universe, making the experience all the more immersive.

Brad Thor’s mastery in weaving thrilling tales is well-known, and Black Ice promised to be another roller-coaster ride in The Scot Harvath Series. I was immediately pulled into the picturesque setting of Harvath’s summer vacation – a serene cottage, a majestic fjord, and the company of his beautiful girlfriend, Solvi. Everything was idyllic, and I could almost feel the serenity and peace radiating from Harvath’s world.

However, as with any good thriller, this tranquility was soon shattered. The sudden appearance of a figure from Harvath’s past, someone he believed he had eliminated, added a layer of chilling suspense. This unexpected twist had me at the edge of my seat. How was it possible for this ghost from the past to resurface in distant Norway?

While the premise was engaging and the narration captivating, I couldn’t help but feel that the plot treaded on familiar ground. Harvath’s character, which usually shines bright in Thor’s novels, felt somewhat overshadowed by clichés this time around. Perhaps my expectations, heightened by previous experiences with Brad Thor’s novels, played a part in this perception.

In conclusion, Black Ice offers an intriguing tale filled with suspense, mystery, and unexpected turns. While it might not stand out as the strongest entry in the Scot Harvath series, it remains a decent addition that fans of Brad Thor and mystery thrillers might enjoy.
