This book series was recommended for readers who love Louise Penny's Inspector Armand Gamache books.  The Unquiet Dead did not disappoint.  The two main characters are fascinating and have plenty of secrets left to unravel.  The elements of war criminals, victims, and the United Nations' involvement in the Balkan genocide of the early 1990s had me researching for more information outside the book.  I'm ready to read more of this series (and the rest of Louise Penny's series.)

2.0

Interesting idea poorly executed. Unrealistic characters and improbable dialogue, with some seriously misogynistic characterisations of women.
