I am a big fan of Icelandic-noir books. Add in a podcast-style family mystery, and I am there for it! Saskia was the chocolate sprinkles on top! 💫 
Everyone believed Agnes’ grandfather killed his wife and baby daughter, then took his son to the US to escape justice. I enjoyed the descriptions of the stark Icelandic scenery as Agnes and podcast host, Nora try to piece together this 40yr old mystery. I also liked the lesbian rep! 🏳️‍🌈
