A Mystery
by Ragnar Jónasson
From the author of The Mysterious Case of The Missing Crime Writer comes the next mystery featuring detective Helgi Reykdal.
When Bergþóra Úlfsdóttir, Helgi's ex-girlfriend, is found dead in her home just before Christmas, Helgi is brought onto the case―but this time, he's a suspect of her murder, given his complicated relationship with Bergþóra. The timing is suspicious: just before her own death, Bergþóra fatally hit Helgi's new girlfriend, Anita, with her car, ruining the future he'd hoped to build with her.
Meanwhile, Helgi has also been looking into the disappearance of Hulda Hermannsdóttir; the woman who'd held his office before him supposedly died of suicide but Helgi remains unconvinced. As he digs into this old case, it begins to seem as though Hulda's disappearance has more layers―layers that draw connections between Bergþóra's and Anita's deaths and Hulda's disappearance.
