Another solid read from Yrsa Sigurdardottir.
Thura is on another interesting case for the bank, investigating if the situation can be remedied or if the bank will have to forfeit the coverage of the mining company. Three deaths at the camp and the rest of the employees left and are not coming back.
Interesting dark history of the Inuit tribe, what they believe, life styles and justice.
Story does drag along in parts and it is hard to see it moving forward as quickly as I would have liked.

I loved this! In this one, Thora Gudmundsdottir is hired to go with a team of people to a remote mining outpost on the east coast of Greenland. A woman disappears from the outpost and then six months later, when most of the rest of the employees had gone home to Iceland for the holidays, the company loses touch with the two men who stayed behind to mind thing. And worse, they recover a short video from the company's servers of what appears to be a body being dismembered in one of the offices. So the group goes up there and there's no sign of anyone, dismembered or not, and the locals in the nearby town are acting really weird.

It was a very atmospheric and creepy book. I enjoyed it a lot.

It was a dark and stormy night.... a very interesting mystery, scary and educational at the same time, with a setting entirely foreign to me. As well written as her other novels.
