This police procedural murder mystery set in an Icelandic winter and dealing with themes of immigration, dislocation and jingoism was very enjoyable, although I would have enjoyed it more if I‘d read earlier books in the series because there was quite a bit about the detectives‘ private lives as well as their professional interactions.

A reread of the book that prompted my visit to Iceland in 2017. A truly magical place. This books tells the story of the last execution in Iceland. It has taken on new meaning for me after finishing her latest book Always Home , Always Homesick. Both wonderful reads. I don‘t keep many books these days but these books are definitely keepers.

A woman wakes up exhausted every morning, limbs aching, with unexplained bruising. She eventually finds out that she‘s sleepwalking. Strange things are happening - cats start to run away from her - and she tries to ascertain what is happening. It‘s a short read, a bit creepy, and one that keeps you hooked. The ending? Yeah, who knows what happened but I have several theories and I‘m okay with that. #offtheshelf #bookspin

Cathythoughts Sounds good. I have a sample on my kindle .. I‘ll try it 👍🏻😁 2w
CBee This was definitely creepy. Normally I can‘t do sad animal things but, for some reason I could with this book? And after a minute of being mad about the ending, I decided I was okay with it 😂 2w
Suet624 @CBee I know what you mean about the sad animal thing. She just breezes over it so quickly that it kind of didn‘t sink in as hard as it could‘ve. 2w
CBee @Suet624 that‘s exactly it! Didn‘t have time to really ponder it before it was over 🤷‍♀️ 2w

I had never heard of Captain Thuridur, which is surprising considering how much I love both sea stories and Icelandic history. Her reputation suffered as women's rights waned in the 1800s in Iceland, but this book brings her back to her rightful status as a bad-ass woman of Iceland's past.
