The Darkness

by Ragnar Jónasson

Blurb

A body is found off the coast of Iceland. A young Russian woman, Elena, hoped to find a fresh start. Instead she found death. A cursory police investigation calls it suicide. Another statistic, she's soon forgotten...But not by Reykjavik Detective Inspector Hulda Hemannsdottir. Difficult and unconventional, Hulda is being forced into early retirement. Offered one last cold case to investigate she chooses Elena's. On discovering another woman has vanished, she believes a killer roams here. Her colleagues, however, think she's out to cause trouble. With days before she's stripped of her badge, can Hulda catch the killer alone?

Great read, with so many unpredictable twists and turns, set in a wonderful location (Iceland, mainly around the Reykjavík area, but also partly in Iceland's famous rugged countryside) which is brilliantly described by Jónasson. Be aware that it does contain themes of abuse and suicide, along murder (though this would be expected, it being a murder mystery!).
