Thora Gundmunsdottir is the main character in this absorbing mystery. Unlike some of the other scandinavian mystery characters, she’s a lawyer, not a detective. Also, she’s less morose and cerebral. Instead she’s a single mother of two and is lively and fun. She’s also smart and dedicated. This novel’s got plenty of mysterious goings on and questioning of those involved with a murder etc. but it’s also got some quirky characters, kid problems and a touch of romance. Very good.
