This is one of the Inspector Erlandur Icelandic mystery series but Erlandur is not really in this book. Detective Elinborg ends up in charge of strange murder case while Erlandur is away on a leave of absence. A rapist is murdered but there are too many possible culprits. Was it the rape victim who was given a date rape drug and has no memory of what happened? Was it the young woman's father who came to her rescue after she regained consciousness? Was it the rapist's former roommate who is a rather creepy character? And how is this crime connected with a young woman who went missing years before? This is an intense and interesting story with many layers. However, I prefer the books where Erlandur is the one leading the investigations. I listened to the audiobook version read by the master, George Guidall.
