Someone to Watch Over Me



Someone to Watch Over Me by Yrsa Sigurdardottir

Summary: Bestselling and award-winning Icelandic crime author Yrsa Sigurdardottir is back with the next book in her Thóra Gudmundsdóttir series. SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, the fifth installment in the Thóra Gudmundsdóttir series, was named Crime Novel of the Year by the Sunday Times.

A young man with Down's Syndrome has been convicted of burning down his assisted living facility and killing five people, but a fellow inmate at his secure psychiatric unit has hired Thora to prove Jakob is innocent. If he didn't do it, who did? And how is the multiple murder connected to the death of a young woman, killed in what was supposed to be a hit-and-run?

Angie's Comments: Although the fifth installment of the Thóra Gudmundsdóttir series, I read this book as a stand-alone and found no problems keeping up with the character or plot. The plot had many twists and turns, and the two threads come together in the end. The ending was especially good!


I recommend this book for mystery readers!
