Her investigation uncovers a web of corruption connected to Iceland's business and banking communities. Meanwhile, a rookie crime journalist latches onto her, looking for a scoop, and an anonymous blogger is stirring up trouble. The complications increase, as do the stakes, when a second murder is committed. Frozen Assets is a piercing look at the endemic corruption that led to the global financial crisis that bankrupted Iceland's major banks and sent the country into an economic tailspin from which it has yet to recover. From the Hardcover edition.

Add a CommentI don't have a problem with the nommen culture - it is pretty easy if you just take off the daughter and son portion of the name. But... I find this book is a real snore. It has too much long winded insignificant minutia. It is a good read for insomniacs.
The personal nomenclature mentioned in the previous comment was overwhelming to me. Too many characters with too many complicated Icelandic names.
An intricate, well-plotted mystery based on recent events in Iceland. The characters are believable. The book provides insight into Icelandic politics and cultural items such as personal nomenclature.
