New York: St Martin's Minotaur, (2024) dj. Hardcover first edition - A complex mystery where a nurse's unsolved murder at a remote Icelandic sanatorium in 1983 is revisited decades later by a criminologist, Helgi, revealing dark secrets and classic whodunit twists. A homage to the golden age of detective fiction, and especially to Agatha Christie (Jonasson translated many of her books into Icelandic) featuring a closed-circle cast (6 staff members) of suspects, an atmospheric setting at a former TB hospital, and intricate plotting that skillfully interweaves timelines (1983, 2012, even 1950) to uncover a cold case with present-day relevance. Includes an afterword by the author "And then there was Christie." Translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb. 304 pp. ISBN: 978-1250770769.
