Not bad. It kept my interest and was a quick read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as other Nordic crime novels, e.g., the Erlendur series of police procedurals. A luxury yacht runs aground in Reykjavik, Iceland with no passengers or crew. A family was supposed to be on board (husband Aegir, wife Lara, and their twin daughters) when it set off from Portugal. Aegir's elderly parents who were babysitting for his youngest daughter contact lawyer Thora G. to see if she can help them arrange for a life insurance settlement and with custody issues. Thora ends up looking into the case and also the possibility that Aegir may have intended to go missing. The book is written in chapters alternating between Thora's investigation and what happened to Aegir and the others on board. The shipboard sections are often very creepy (piquing the interest of my husband who loves horror when I told him some things about the book). I thought the ending seemed a bit rushed, and sort of melodramatic (I could imagine this being made into a movie with lots of plot twists), but overall the book was entertaining. I might check out other books by this author.
