Last Rituals by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

2.0

The writing was stilted and the characters were incredibly unintelligent. The mystery itself was interesting (I'm always a sucker for anything slightly supernatural) but comes to an extremely disappointing, poorly-written conclusion. Still, it was charming to read about Iceland itself, and take a look at what counts as a struggling single mother in a Scandinavia. Imagine a lawyer in America not coming to work until 9 am and leaving before 5 pm! Imagine a lawyer taking entire weekends off! I might continue to read the series to see if it gets more successfully spooky and to inundate myself with the Scandinavian standard of living.
