This was the first book I had read which was set in Iceland, and although initially I struggled with some of the character and place names, once I had got my head around these, I was able to enjoy a very good crime novel.
Magnus is a police officer who has returned to Iceland following a number of years in America.
When an Italian tourist is found dead at a church where a film crew are working on a television series, Magnus is called in to investigate. Several more bodies follow, as does an unravelling of a long established academic truth, and Magnus faces a race against time to stop the killer.
I found the story moved along at a good pace, and the characters were well rounded and believable. I'd look out for more by this author.
