4.0

This book is an interesting study of old crimes that generate new crimes through genealogy. Reykjavik Police Inspector Erlendur is called to the scene of a murder of an old man, Holberg. He discovers that the man was accused of rape back in 1962 and that there was a child.
Erlendur follows the investigation while at the same time dealing with his drug addict daughter. She tells him that she is pregnant and is trying to give up drugs. He is divorced from his wife and tries to help her on his own.
I enjoyed reading this book and give it 4 out of 5 stars. The translation was very good.
Update, May 15, 2018. My wife and I visited Iceland last summer for 11 days. It is a beautiful, scenic country. Reykjavik is a lovely city with some interesting sites, including Regan/Gorbachev meeting place.
If you can, go to Iceland
