sjfurger 's review for:

Last Rituals by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

---

I really wanted to like this one. Thora is a great character, and I really like Ysra's style. But this felt like a bad mix of Nordic Noir and Cozy Mystery - an amateur sleuth who shouldn't really have access to the case and somehow lands right in the middle with all of the darker elements of a great mystery. I might come back and read it again, but this one wasn't what I was expecting.
