My Soul to Take

This is another intricately plotted mystery featuring Thora Gudmundsdottir and Matthew (whose last name I can't remember).  Once again, the threads of mystery past and present are brought together to solve murders and free a man arrested for crimes he did not commit.  Once again, the only thing I really did not like about this book was the subplot involving Thora's children.

“Top notch crime fiction.” —Boston Globe American readers first met Icelandic lawyer and investigator Thóra Gudmundsdóttir in Last Rituals. In My Soul to Take, internationally acclaimed author Yrsa Sigurdardóttir plunges her intrepid heroine into even graver peril, in a riveting thriller set against the harsh landscape of Smila’s Sense of Snow territory. A darkly witty and continually surprising suspense tale that places Yrsa Sigurdardóttir firmly in the ranks of Sue Grafton, Tess Gerritsen, Faye Kellerman and other top mystery writers, My Soul to Take is ingenious Scandinavian noir on a par with the works of Henning Mankell and Arnaldur Indridason. Stieg Larsson (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) fans should also take note.

послабее первой книги, но в целом - нормальный детектив для чтения на пляже. надеюсь, её еще будут переводить
