this was a good read, I enjoyed all the description of the Icelandic nature and how that impacted their lives in the 1800s. I think I set myself up for disappointment in that I thought it would have a great plot twist but it was what I thought it would be originally, so I was little saddened by that but as a true crime story, makes sense
