The Reckoning by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

5.0

 I continue to love this Icelandic author that I found last fall! This is the 2nd book in her Children's House series and as soon as I return it to the library I have the 3rd ready to pick up! It has been awhile since I have been motivated to read back to back books in a series. These don't HAVE to be read in order, but the personal side of the story (relationships, jobs, etc) will make more sense if you do. Another crazy case starts with finding a pair of severed hands floating in a hot tup. Detective Huldar brings in child psychologist Freya back in for help as some things lead to letters written by a young child. If you are fan (and have the stomach for) Karin Slaughter books... then you need to start reading Yrsa's. I have a feeling I am going to clear her entire adult backlist in 2023.
