A review by mitchk
Rupture by Ragnar Jónasson

4.0

Returning to crime fiction is my reading "comfort blanket" - sometimes I need to read knowing the author has it all held tightly and under control for me. This is Jónasson's third book in the Icelandic series and if you like crime with interesting themes and a strong attachment to the landscape this is a winner. Siglufjördur, a small town in the northernmost tip of Iceland, long past its Herring era heyday, is a central character in the book - controlling the light, the cold and the claustrophobic tensions needed to bring this drama home.
