If you've been looking for a contemporary mystery/thriller set in the world of the 1990's Nordic death metal scene, set in Iceland featuring a middle-aged alcoholic protagonist, this book is for you! Solid, but semi-disturbing read.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this author before this month. These books are well-written, chewy, crime novels. More!

Boy this series is gritty. Not for the faint hearted. But a really good fast paced mystery, I do like the protagonist, even though she's SUCH a mess!! I read this one in a day, just can't stop turning these pages. And I hear this series only gets better, so #3, here I come!
