Rupture

1 Mins read

Ragnar Jonasson’s Dark Iceland series began with Snowblind, and has continued with Blackout and Nightblind. Rupture fits between the latter two, and sees our detective Ari Thor Arasson re-opening a case going all the way back to 1955 and the suspicious death of a woman. While TV reporter Isrun helps Ari Thor, she’s also investigating her own story which involves both a kidnapping and a hit and run. A political angle emerges. A noir-ish feel, an Agatha Christie-style mystery, and the claustrophobic atmosphere of small-town Iceland are all conjured up by the author. Read our review here.
