A good read. I wouldn't call her "Iceland's Steig Larsson" as the book jack does, because they seem very different--they're just writing about northern mysteries.
Thora is a good lead. I would definitely read more.

An interesting crime thriller set in Iceland with many twists and turns. Some characters weren’t fully developed as much as they could have been but a decent read.

Chyba ciut słabsza niż poprzednie części i w sumie nie wiem czemu akurat takie wrażenie, bo historia nawet całkiem niezła aczkolwiek trochę dziwna i pogmatwana, z wybuchem wulkanu w tle,to jednak miała kilka przynudzających momentów. Czytało się dobrze, ale bez rewelacji. Może następne części będą lepsze, na co w gruncie rzeczy bardzo liczę.

It took me a full three months to read the first half of this book, approximately two sentences each night before I dozed off (my second worst slog after [b:A is for Alibi|64863|A is for Alibi (Kinsey Millhone, #1)|Sue Grafton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388198817l/64863._SY75_.jpg|1299178]). There were so many unnecessary words. Finally, as I was reading this afternoon, the plot started going somewhere and I spent as much time today as possible reading this book. It's kind of a hot mess, with lots and lots of characters, a few different crimes, and one unbelievably complicated scheme--which doesn't really come to life because it features dead actors and just gets summarized by other characters.
