It is a dark family drama, with unbearable suspense, which made it impossible to let go, despite its thickness; the story of two brothers who hide a terrible past and whose secrets threaten to emerge decades later. If there is one title to read from the Norwegian author, apart from his famous series with Inspector Harry Hole, this is it.

The island of souls
This author’s first thriller translated into French introduces us to two investigators who team up in the new unsolved crimes unit in Cagliari, Sardinia – two heroines that we hope to find in future titles. For their first mission, they look into murders of women committed decades earlier in the Sardinian hinterland, which are said to be linked to a more recent disappearance. A very successful plot.

Since Henning Mankell and his commissioner Wallander, no series has thrilled us as much as that of the Norwegian inspector William Wisting. He often investigates without knowing it in parallel with his daughter, a journalist, who inevitably finds herself snooping not far from her files. This fifth title is just as addicting as the first four and leads us into two old cases of disappearance.

Among Icelandic crime fiction writers, Ragnar Jónasson has undoubtedly surpassed his compatriot Arnaldur Indridason in recent years with his series featuring the young police officer Ari Thór, his excellent in-camera suspense and his trilogy with Inspector Hulda Hermansdóttir, including this title is the third part. Here she is working on a disappearance case while trying to survive a personal drama. The good news is that we will be entitled to a new title from this prolific novelist this winter.

This detective novel is the third in the Japanese series with Lieutenant Reiko Himekawa. Few of the authors take us so far in the genre, and we loved delving into the ramifications of the Tokyo police, while witnessing the difficulties with which the young woman must deal as the only officer on the service. The investigation is fascinating and the trip, even more fabulous.
