The Reckoning by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
3.0
Too macabre for me
I love Yrsa Sigurdardottir's writing and I always look forward to each new novel. The first in this series had been a great read, but this one was just too dark and gruesome for me. This is a line Sigurdardottir always treads, usually successfully, but this book crossed that line for me. It won't stop me looking forward to the next one, in the hope that it won't be quite so gruesome, but it does make me unable to recommend this one.
