Burned out and traumatised by her horrifying experiences around the world, aid worker Úrsula has returned to Iceland. Unable to settle, she accepts a high-profile government role. But on her first day in the post, Úrsula promises to help a mother seeking justice for her daughter, who had been raped by a policeman. A homeless man is stalking her – but is he hounding her, or warning her of some danger? And why has the death of her father in police custody so many years earlier reared its head again? As Úrsula is drawn into dirty politics, facing increasingly deadly threats, the lives of her stalker, her bodyguard and even a witch-like cleaning lady intertwine.

My first book by this author. Not disappointed. When I read the synopses of her other books, they didn't really appeal to me, but this sounded like fun. And it was. I miss Scandinavian crime stories. This was a good one. A little grim, a little weird, occasionally, with a number of converging plots. The characters were reasonably well developed, and the main character was a well-written flawed character, not an annoying one.
I liked it. It was a good listen
