 Death at the Sanatorium - Ragnar Jónasson

She Read

In 1983, a nurse was murdered at a former TB sanatorium in northern Iceland.  With a staff of only 5, who did it?  When the chief physician appears to have jumped to his death, he is considered to have been the perpetrator and the case closed.

Twenty nine years later a criminology student who has served as a police officer is using the events for his graduate dissertation.  As he reaches out to the surviving staff, all may not appear as it seemed back then and danger lurks.

This is the third book I have read by Jónasson and I have liked all of them.  Told in three timelines from various POVs, this Nordic Noir is highly readable, atmospheric, and engrossing. And, oh that ending!

Thanks to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress #Minotaur for the DRC.
