Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

3.0

This is the third in the series about Þóra Guðmundsdóttir a Reykjavik lawyer who seems to stumble into investigating dark crimes in pursuit of justice for her clients. Here a house buried by a volcano explosion two decades before is being excavated and three bodies and a head are discovered under the dust, at the same time a woman is found dead in her apartment in suspicious circumstances. Inevitably there are connections.
Overall it was a gripping read and what I want from thrillers /crime novels is the mystery and suspense that keeps me turning the page which it did and I read it in a weekend. I will however probably wait a bit to read the next in the series as it is not one of those that I'm so hooked on I'll anticipate reading the next as soon as I can. generally though a good read.
