Murder Under the Midnight Sun by Stella Blomkvist
Thank you @sh_ewa for letting me be part if this tour and reviewing this book.
Murder under the Midnight Sun is book 2 in the series. The main Character is Stella who is a lawyer and investigate crime occasional, and she goes to visit a Glacier where she founds a discovery. I found the story to be gripping, and she really holds your attention to the point where you can't stop reading this book. The story is cleverly written, wish I could write like her, and is a great read. Murder under the Midnight sun is at a reasonable pace you can keep up with and has a great plot. An entertaining and fascinating read that you won't be able to put down. You don't have to read as a series if you have not read book 1 . After this I think you will want to read book 1 to because she is great writer. Anyone that likes crime fiction, this book is definitely for you 5 stars.
blurb
Stella is a force of nature' – Mark Sanderson, The Times
Smart, ruthless and with a flexible moral code all of her own, razor-tongued lawyer Stella Blómkvist is also dealing with a desperate deathbed request to track down a young woman who vanished a decade ago.
It looks like a dead end, but she agrees to pick up the stone-cold trail – and she never gives up, even if the police did a long time ago.
‘...a perfect example of Icelandic crime fiction at its best—atmospheric, relevant, and undeniably entertaining.’ – BOLO Books
Then there’s the mystery behind the arm that emerges from an ice cap, with a mysterious ruby ring on one frozen finger? How does this connect to another unexplained disappearance, and why were the police at the time so keen to write it off as a tragic accident?
Brutal present-day crimes have their roots in the past that some people would prefer to stay forgotten.
As Stella pieces together the fragments, is she getting too close to the truth and making herself a target for ruthless men determined to conceal secret sins?
‘If you are a fan of Nordic crime fiction, then this title is simply unmissable.’ – Tap the Line
Stella Blómkvist has been a bestselling series in Iceland since the first of these tales appeared in the 1990s, and has attracted an international audience since the TV series starring Heiða Reed aired.
The series features tough, razor-tongued, Reykjavík lawyer Stella Blómkvist, with her taste for neat whiskey, a liking for easy money and a moral compass all of her own – and who is at home in the corridors of power as in the city’s darkest nightspots.
