Hulda picks the case of a Russian immigrant who was found dead on the coast. Her death was quickly ruled a suicide but after reading the file, Hulda sees that the investigation was shoddy and quick and believes it could have been a homicide instead. After investigating further, she discovers that another Russian woman had disappeared as well and she was the friend of the other one. Can Hulda solve the case and more importantly, can she face retirement?
Ragnar Jonasson is an Icelandic author who writes crime novels. This is the first in his Hulda Hermannsdottir series. Along with solving the crime, he talks with feeling about how it feels to age and realize that your time on Earth is getting shorter. Hulda definitely doesn't want to retire but starts to see that it will give her more time to pursue her outside interests and even maybe find romance. The mystery is satisfactory and Hulda is a tenacious character who readers will enjoy getting to know. This book is recommended for mystery readers.
