If you enjoy plot driven books, history, mystery, and facts about Iceland, Ivory Bones will be perfect for you. I really enjoyed the first book (Double Blind) and I do think you should read that first in order to truly understand this world and the story. This book improves upon the first one in that it feels less like school/textbook about Iceland and more like a real story with some Icelandic tidbits placed in proper places. I loved the historical mystery in this one that slams back into modern day and our characters. I read it in one sitting because I really wanted to find out what happened.

I say plot driven book because the character development is a little strange or not existent in some places. Our MC breaks it off with her almost fiancé, she immediately hooks up with someone else and he's dating someone else literally the next day, and yet they were/are so in love to almost get married? Makes no sense and is never really addressed. Maybe they're just messy people (even though their jobs and personalities suggest otherwise.) But the plot works, and that's where my personal enjoyment in books is! Overall, definitely give this a read if you're in need of a good mystery.
