Whiplash ride
4 stars
The Reyjavik Noir books by Lilja Sigurdardottir are probably the fastest paced books I have ever read. No chapter is longer than 1-3 minutes of reading time, there's always something going on. Cage concludes the arc that began in the first book in unexpected ways. While the first two books were mostly about Sonja, a woman who broke bad by smuggling cocaine into Iceland to pay crippling debts, Cage is all about Agla. Sonja's former lover, involved in financial crimes, now in jail, making another woman break bad.
I don't want to go much into detail here. It's a stronger end than I expected after the middle book that bored me a bit. This one I just rushed through and got a mostly satisfying end, with all the storylines interconnecting. If you would like to read a Breaking Bad style thriller about crimes in Iceland, this is the trilogy.
