Icelandic not-so noir
Does no one tell the truth to the police anymore? Even if they’re innocent?!
It seems that everyone wants to keep their secrets to themselves in this book, even if they think the information might relate to the murder of an Italian tourist. A camera crew, who are filming a documentary about Gudrid the Wanderer in Iceland, find her body outside a church where they’re filming. Magnus Jonson is in charge of the police investigation.
I really enjoyed the references to the Icelandic Sagas (I’ve now got a book of them on my Christmas list!), and Magnus seems to be a very nice police officer! Everyone else appears to just be looking out for themselves, to the detriment of everyone else.
Great story though! This is the fifth in a series, I haven’t read the others, and I don’t think it actually matters story-wise. I would very much like to read the others though!!

This is my first Lisa stone book I'm definitely going to read the rest of her books. It's about a man who works for a CCTV company called home security. He installs CCTV systems into clients homes he calls them his extended family and after he finishes work he goes to his bedroom to watch the live streams and as soon as he sees something he doesn't like he sends automated messages to the clients to warn them to check there windows and doors and to alert the police. The police question Derek flint as there seems to be break-ins where he's installed the CCTV and police think he's behind all the break ins but it turns out to be one of his ex aprentices who is behind all the things that have gone on I would highly recommend this book it had me on the edge of my seat more than once
