This is another tale with the unorthodox Inspector Erlendur in Reykjavik, Iceland, who sets off on his own to find out why a woman would commit suicide at her holiday cottage. Certain aspects of the tale start to ring alarm bells, and with absolutely no evidence and with no sanction from his superiors, he conducts interviews and finds out the whole amazing story. At the same time he continues to investigate a missing person so he can bring some peace to the boy's father before he passes away, and the two cases become connected in a random remark. I have really enjoyed this whole series and this one is no exception. Highly recommended. ( )

Another great tale from the Icelandic master story teller. You can feel the landscape and touch the people in this dark tale. ( )
