About this listen
Detective Gunnhildur sets to investigate two seemingly separate cases, but uncovers some disturbing links. Top class crime writing set in Icleand. Following her promotion and working now from Reykjavik, Gunnhildur is given responsibility for two cases - the first in tracking down an escaped convict who's keen to settle old scores, and the other, the murder of a TV fitness presenter in her city centre apartment.
With the police short staffed and underfunded following the financial crash, Gunnhildur and her team set about delving into the backgrounds of both, where they uncover some unwelcome secrets and some influential friends of both who have no wish to be in the public eye. Set in an Iceland that is coming to terms with the deepening recession, Gunnhildur has to take stock of the whirlwind changes that have taken place as she investigates criminals at opposite ends of the social scale as some uncomfortable links appear between the two cases.

Critic reviews
Another good story - albeit very complicated trying to get my head around the who and why. I just love Gunnhildur, she is patient and tolerant but can come back with a witty/caustic response when necessary. I like the way that Quentin Blake actually has his detectives work with evidence - not just 'gut feeling' as in some novels nowadays.
I still have a little problem with the Icelandic names - but a quick rewind soon fettles that!
Good story - good narration
