I haven’t read anything by this author before but what drew me to this book is that it’s set in Iceland, a county I have visited, and i’m always interested in reading books set in places I have been. I find it interesting reading other people’s descriptions of places to see how they fare against my own.

I liked the fact that this book is broken down into fairly short chapters. This is a book where I read short chunks at a time and the storyline is one where it is easy to pick up where you left off.

We don’t learn a whole lot about Magnus as a character in this book. There is some mention of his struggles with having been born in Iceland but spending the majority of his time living in America, and there is some mention of a previous relationship and a child from when he last visited Iceland, but the story does mainly focus on the investigation development and not character development in my opinion.

The character Magnus has featured in other books by the author and i’m interested to read more about this character and what investigations he has been involved in. This book is a classic ‘who done it’ type of book and I would recommend for anyone who likes this kind of story.
