8.29.2025 - The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer by Ragnar Jónasson

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this crime novel by Ragnar Jónasson, with the audiobook narrated by the cast of Cicely Whitehead; Jane Slavin; Rufus Wright.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Detective Helgi is on the case of a missing popular crime writer.  There are no clues and he needs to crack the case before it's leaked to the press.  He interviews the people close to her and realizes that Elin's life was different than it seemed.  Helgi must uncover the secrets to find the writer.

After reading and enjoying Death at the Sanatorium, also featuring Detective Helgi, I was anxious to read this book.  I quickly switched over to the audio production because it was fantastic, complete with sound effects and a cast.  I really felt involved in the story.  There is also a mystery of a missing colleague, and we get more of a peek into Helgi's private life.  I liked the way the story played out with interviews, but that ending - I need more quickly!
