Ice Moon


This thriller by Jan Costin Wagner was translated from the German by John Brownjohn. Set in Turku, Finland, the hero of this novel is Detective Kimmo Joentaa, who is recovering from the recent death of his wife. Instead of staying on compassionate leave to continue mourning, Timmo is hard at work, investigating a smothering serial killer. In another strange twist, Kimmo invites a murdered victim's former boyfriend from Germany to stay with him at his house--Kimmo even lets Daniel sleep in his bed, while he sleeps on the couch. The identity of the smothering serial killer is solved with an ingenious twist. And the descriptions of the Finnish countryside made me want to visit Finland.--Barb P.
