This fell perfectly in that zone in between cozy mystery and thriller for me--neither cheesy nor gory. Other than that, I found it disappointing, mostly in that the mildly likeable characters at the beginning never improved, and sometimes became even less likeable as the story progressed.
It would have been three stars, but it lost another half star because the ending wasn't *quite* satisfying for me.
The main plus to this book is that I've now read a book set in Iceland...
