Rupture

by Ragnar Jónasson

Blurb

A huge bestseller in England, France, and Australia, the fourth book in the Ari Thor thriller series from a spectacular new crime writer.

Hailed for combining the darkness of Nordic Noir with classic mystery writing, author Ragnar Jónasson’s books are haunting, atmospheric, and complex. Rupture, the latest Ari Thór thriller, delivers another dark mystery that is chillingly stunning with its complexity and fluidity.

Young policeman Ari Thór tries to solve a 50-year-old murder when new evidence surfaces. But the case proves difficult in a town where no one wants to know the truth, where secrets are a way of life. He's assisted by Ísrún, a news reporter in Reykjavik who is investigating an increasingly chilling case of her own. Things take a sinister turn when a child goes missing in broad daylight. With a stalker on the loose, and the town in quarantine, the past might just come back to haunt them.

Quite a dark story (as most scandi noir is!) with some themes of violence of various forms explored. Interesting and surprising outcomes to two different events, though I would say they don't come together in the characteristically pleasing way Jónasson's books have done previously. That said, it was still, generally, a riveting read with a very pleasing ending.
