This is the first one of Michael Ridpaths stories that I have read. From the sounds of things the others have been of a similar theme. The story involves a detective who has to figure out the link between three murders and the obvious question as to who did it?! The book is based in Iceland and Greenland and follows the Viking history story of gudrid and Erik the red. There is some confusion over some artefacts that were found but together with the murders, they aide the detective in helping to find out who the murderer was. There is also another story lurking in the background which will lead quite nicely into a follow on book which I’m sure is the plan. Overall a good story, I will definitely be interested reading more of his future books.
