Bodies are discovered in one of the excavated houses at a volcanic tourist attraction dubbed 'The Pompeii of the North'.

Markús Magnússon, who was only a teenager when the volcano erupted, falls under suspicion and hires attorney Thóra Gudmundsdottir to defend him - but when his childhood sweetheart is murdered his case starts to look more difficult, and the locals seem oddly reluctant to back him up..

A good read, just found the end not very convincing.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Well, in the meantime I did happen to read another book by the same author (as it fit an earlier challenge) and that one was pretty intriguing, but this was a little less so. The story was dragging, the actual mystery not quite as interesting as it could have been and the ending was just not remotely believeable. I also felt that the previous Finnish translation was a lot more lively than this English one, so maybe the translators played their part in my opinion as well...

Travelling to Soozreader next, via wishlist tag game.
