I enjoyed this book very much. This is the third novel in a series of murder mysteries set in Iceland starring a lawyer named Thóra Gudmundsdóttir (everyone in these books have similarly awesome names). One thing I really like about these books is the sense of place is so strong. Some stories, you could pick them up, change a few minor details, and set them back down in any other city in the world and they'd still make sense. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it's nice when you can't do that. These stories would not make sense anywhere else in the world but Iceland. Very enjoyable mysteries.
