The Must by Ragnar Jonasson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just before Christmas, in the remotest farm in Iceland, Ella and Einar are startled by a knock at their door in the middle of winter with a storm quickly approaching. They find a stranger at the door. Two months later, detective Hilda gets a call about multiple bodies found at a remote farmhouse. What will she find?

I love a good Icelandic mystery as much as I love my ocean stories!  No disappointment with this book either. A multiple timeline story that sucked me right in and was finished in a day. This was book three in a series and has left me wondering what occurred in the first two even though this could easily be read as a standalone.
