Windows To The World

Frozen Assets by Quentin Bates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gunnhilder Gisladottir known as Gunna the cop, is the head of a two person police force in a small town about an hour from Reykjavik, Iceland. A body is fished out of the waters in her town and while it seems that he fell into the water after over imbibing . Gunna is being pressed by her superiors in Reykjavik to accept this scenario but she feels that unless he had wings there was no way from him to have travelled to her locality on foot. Murder, then is what she begins to investigate getting resistance from everyone she interviews as well as her boss.




Gunna has two children and lost her husband  several years before in an incident she refuses to discuss. She is no push over. When a second man is found dead she moves into higher gear and begins to realize that she is on the trail of a cunning cold-blooded killer.

Despite the fact that the murderer is elusive and crafty she is soon on his trail a and the authorities are forced to fall in behind her even though what she is really following is also a trail to high level corruption.



The book is billed as a thriller. I found it to be a leisurely walk that begins to pick up pace toward the end of the story. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading COLD COMFORT the next in the series.
