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

Ari Thór fait des recherches au sujet d’une femme qui se serait empoisonnée il y a une cinquantaine d’années. La journaliste Ísrún l’aide en retrait et fait une recherche sur un meurtre d’un homme et de l’enlèvement d’un bébé ( )
Ari Thor investigates a 50-year-old poisoning case that was ruled a suicide at the time because someone asks him to take a look at it. Crime is down because of the quarantine, so it frees him to take a look at the older case. He finds a connection to a case in Reykjavik and asks his reporter friend Isrun to look into it since travel is not an option due to the quarantine. Isrun is also looking into the kidnapping of a child. While the stories all come together, the English translation is awkward in places and makes it difficult to follow. This is not my favorite series by Jonasson. The leading characters personal issues makes it difficult to like them. ( )
Good mystery story, as always. But either someone skimped on editing or the translator has very interesting ideas about adverb placement in english. ( )

"...Living in Hédinsfjördur was never easy and any communication with neighboring communities could be fraught with difficulty. During winter, the coast, which had no harbour, was often inaccessible by sea, and the snow-covered mountains were always difficult."
