The Lost House
by Melissa Larsen
Agnes has just lost her grandfather, has a difficult relationship with her father, recently broke up with her girlfriend and still recovering from a horrific accident she has become addicted to pain killers.
Traveling to Iceland against her father's wishes Agnes decide to participate in a podcast focusing on the cold case of her grandmother and Aunt's murder. Everyone in the small town she is from believes her grandfather murdered his wife and baby daughter but Agnes doesn't believe he was capable of it and is determined to find the truth.
This is well done mystery set in a remote location in a small town. All evidence points one way but Agnes has a feeling the new case and the old case may be connected. I found the book very readable and switched over to the audio for the second half and found the narrator to be engaging. This is more the slower, darker pace of a nordic thriller than the typical mystery. But I'm a huge Scandi Noir fan so it was perfect. Great way to start the year.
