From the critically acclaimed author of The Book of M, a highly imaginative thriller about a young woman who discovers that a strange map in her deceased father’s belongings holds an incredible, deadly secret—one that will lead her on an extraordinary adventure and to the truth about her family’s dark history.
What is the purpose of a map?
Nell Young’s whole life and greatest passion is cartography. Her father, Dr. Daniel Young, is a legend in the field, and Nell’s personal hero. But she hasn't seen or spoken to him ever since he cruelly fired her and destroyed her reputation after an argument over an old, cheap gas station highway map.
But when Dr. Young is found dead in his office at the New York Public Library, with the very same seemingly worthless map hidden in his desk, Nell can’t resist investigating. To her surprise, she soon discovers that the map is incredibly valuable, and also exceedingly rare. In fact, she may now have the only copy left in existence… because a mysterious collector has been hunting down and destroying every last one—along with anyone who gets in the way.
But why?
To answer that question, Nell embarks on a dangerous journey to reveal a dark family secret, and discover the true power that lies in maps...
Perfect for fans of Joe Hill and V.E. Schwab, The Cartographers is an ode to art and science, history and magic—a spectacularly imaginative, modern story about an ancient craft and places still undiscovered.

Første halvdel af bogen var fantastisk. Spændende, lidt nervepirrende, nyt. Så kom anden halvdel af bogen, hvor alle følelser røg ned i et hul. Lettere kedeligt, forudsigelig osv. Bogen er lidt meh, desværre.

A wonderful story. I enjoyed the passionate characters and also the voices of the different characters involved in the story.

Desværre virker historien meningsløs som om det ikke helt er lykkedes at få historien til at hænge sammen

Igen en af de der bøger hvor konceptet er super spændende, men det er forviklet i al for megen personlig drama og bliver ikke fulgt ordentlig til dørs😕

En lidt forvirrende at læse/høre for det kan være lidt svært at finde rundt i handlingen. Efter den springer i mellem flere personer. Men en god bog hyggelig bog her til sommer. Kunne være bedre der er lidt Dan Brown overboen også
