I really like her oh so sneaky dry humor that ambushed me throughout the book.
Cold Steal (Officer Gunnhilder, #4) by Quentin Bates
Cold Steal begins with a murder investigation - crime scene investigation assigned to Gunna's "nemesis", while Gunna is assigned to resear I like this series and I like Gunna. Cold Steal begins with a murder investigation - crime scene investigation assigned to Gunna's "nemesis", while Gunna is assigned to research the victim's background.
She ends up all over the place, solving all sorts of crimes even some assigned to her nemesis. She's smart and intuitive and not afraid to act on her intuition Cold Steal is a complicated and "twisty" story with a multitude of characters and bad guys Overall, a fast paced story with great characters and a very satisftory ending with only a little? Hopefully, Quentin Bates is working on that. Jan 22, Graham Tonks rated it it was amazing. Another excellent yarn from Quentin Bates, multiple murders, abduction and intrigue around property and burglary! You'll love getting your teeth into this one!

One of the reasons I enjoy this is the well-balanced approach with character development and inclusion of the protagonist's personal life interspersed with the mystery.

Normally fairly close to him, they've been on the outs and she wishes he would choose one of the girls and get on with things. There are a couple of different cases the team is working on that, as always, seem to intersect. Although it's Iceland's largest city, Reykjavik isn't that large about , people so the big time criminals often have their fingers in several pies at once.
The case begins with the execution style murder of a businessman who had been living mostly in Copenhagen for several years and ends up going in all different directions with financial crimes, possible drug and smuggling connections. Well-written, excellently narrated, easy to follow and read style. I don't know why this series isn't more popular. It was only available on Kindle and audio, and my library didn't carry either one, so I ended up buying it from audible.
Well worth the credit! And I've purchased the next one too, always happy to support what I call "undervalued and underrated" authors Pleased to catch up with this - I like Gunna and her dry humour, and Iike the Icelandic setting.

I missed this one originally because I don't do that gadget, and it seemed this story was not going to appear in hard copy, but it showed up in large print so: Lots of gritty eastern European criminality, plus a rather likeable home-grown rogue who cones off rather badly from his various contacts with the underworld.

There is some good description of the unforgiving Icelandic landscape when one of the characters a city dweller is dumped in a remote location and survives on what turns out to be several-years-old dried fish. Splendid, except for the fate of the rogue and there's a bit of a personal cliffhanger for Gunna at the end too.
Aug 08, Lis rated it really liked it Shelves: Very well done addition to this Icelandic police-procedural series. A number of characters are profiled -- both police and criminals. We see their stories as they progress to a head-on collision, and I found myself rooting for some of the criminals as well as the police. A bit of a surprise ending that sets us up for the next book.

A good Icelandic mystery, Gunnhilder Gisladottir is another favorite character of mine. This story was more complex with several angles. Even though one can predict it will all come together in the end, I enjoy the journey. Sep 04, Kathleen rated it it was amazing. This whole series is excellent and very well written.

I love a good swedish mystery! This is a good one! I recently spent a week in Iceland, and was amazed at the literary presence there. When I spotted this book, I was thrilled to make the armchair journey. Gunna and family, Gunna and coworkers, all well written characters.
Book set in Reykjavik. It took a bit to follow the characters, but this is a well written police procedural. May 22, Anne rated it really liked it. Officer Gunnhilder Gisladottir, or Gunna as she is affectionately known, finds herself in the midst of yet another murder mystery. A businessman has been shot dead, and Gunna must investigate his affairs. In doing that she also has to track down a very successful and as yet, unidentified housebreaker who has been on the Police radar for some time now. Quentin Bates has yet again delivered a complex, well-written story that is as intriguing as it is exciting.
Gunna's character develops more with e Officer Gunnhilder Gisladottir, or Gunna as she is affectionately known, finds herself in the midst of yet another murder mystery. Gunna's character develops more with each new episode of her story, and the reader learns more about her and her family, as well as following her through an incredibly difficult case. I like Gunna as a heroine. She's down-to-earth, sometimes very funny, intelligent and witty. She has a family problems and she has a difficult job, but she's always real.
I was particularly interested in the inclusion of characters from Iceland's immigrant population, giving a different take on life in the country as they have to deal with language and culture that is not their own. This is an intelligently written, complex thriller. Gritty and violent at times and of course those almost impossible to read and pronounce Icelandic names that have become a trademark of this series.
