An enjoyable but not great crime fiction in which a lawyer, named Thora, gets draws into a murder investigation as the victim was linked to one the clients she represents. The murder mystery is well plotted and the book takes the reader on many twists and turns. However, the book isn't entirely convincing because of some gaps in the narrative and character construction: people seem completely non-plussed by the fact that a lawyer interrogates them as if she were a detective; what is the point of the Matthew character; how come he is able to suddenly understand conversations in Iceland when at other points he doesn't; did Thora just leave her underage kids sitting in their caravan alongside the road while she goes around investigating??? As a result, I was repeatedly pulled out of the story.
