Things I liked about this book: the Icelandic setting, the hidden depths of the central character, the unfolding mystery. It didn't seem like an obvious set up - I didn't suspect the culprit until a very short time before the revelation (but murder mysteries are not a huge part of my usual reading list so regular mystery buffs might have seen it coming sooner) and the ending was a surprise also.
