Maybe I’ve been reading too many crime thrillers either too many twists but this one was fairly pedestrian- yes a surprising killer but so many missed opportunities for things to go wrong that were mentioned as possible but never did.

This historical fiction mystery is a enthralling read!
And the coauthor Katrín Jakobsdóttir, is the Icelandic Prime Minister!
A thirty year old cold case of a missing 15 year old girl & a young journalist determined to solve the case.
It’s mostly set in 1986 on the Eve of the historic Regan-Gorbachev summit in Reykjavik.
Having been to Reykjavik and Viðey island it was a treat to return to these places and follow the clues!

With thanks to the author, publishers Penguin Random House, and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
I am a fan of Ragnar Jónasson‘s work, having thoroughly enjoyed all previous books of his that I have read, and this collaboration with Katrin was no different.
A cold-case investigation in a chilling setting in both senses of the word, a plot expertly woven by the two authors, and a wonderful twist at the end of the story made this a very satisfying and exciting read, and one that I would be happy to recommend to other readers.
