I didn't bother reading the blurb for this one because, well, it's Ragnar Jónasson, and I have always enjoyed his books. Then there's that catchy title. You had me at "Mysterious" Ragnar, hook, line and sinker. 🎣
Imagine my delight when I started reading and discovered that Helgi was the protagonist. Last time I met Helgi he was investigating that Death at the Sanatorium, and in a volatile relationship with Bergthóra. I was definitely looking forward to catching up with him, to see what, if anything, had changed. Before you ask, no, I'm not going to tell you. 🔍
The missing crime writer is Elín Jónsdóttir, and Helgi has been tasked with the investigation into her disappearance. Needless to say, there are many twists and turns in his quest to discover what may have happened to Elín. 🔍
As if that investigation wasn't enough for Helgi to contend with, there's also the small matter of his predecessor Hulda, who also disappeared without trace. And then there's Bergthóra, but I'll say no more on that subject. 🤐
There's a lot to keep the reader occupied, and guessing, but this is a very satisfying read which I enjoyed immensely. 🔍
