I’m fond of this series tho I believe they’ve been translated out of order makes it a tad bit confusing. This one was very atmospheric for it being close to Christmas as I finished it. As always wonderful descriptions of the Icelandic world that transport you there with each page.
Thanks to Orenda for this review copy.

Even if this is a translated version, the writing is amateurish. In different hands, the story could have come alive, instead of plodding along to an indifferent end.

So turns out this is number 5 in a sequence that I've never read any of the previous of! Didn't stop me enjoying it and wanting to know whodunnit. It's one of those mysteries where the detective also has a backstory that they eek out - I assume over several books. I'll need to try to get my hands on the earlier ones!

Lecture parfaite pour ce mois de Novembre. Un roman que j'ai dévoré en une soirée, un très bon policier !
