Reykjavik, Jonason & Jakobsdottir - B

                      This is a mystery that feels a bit contrived, perhaps how a novel written by AI would feel. Likely, it's just the translation. Lara, a fifteen year old girl working as a maid, disappears from an island in Rekjavik harbor and is never found. The investigating officer is told by a superior to let the matter drop after he questions some well connected professionals who may have been involved. Thirty years later, a reporter is looking into the story and is told by a caller that she'll tell him know where Lara is buried. He is soon pushed in front of a bus, and his sister takes up the cause. The sister figures out who the mystery caller is, solves the murder, and writes the article in her and her brother's name.
