Finished reading: Hildur by Satu Rämö 📚. I am not a detective story person, and mostly picked this Finnish language detective story set in Iceland because it was available in top 10 books shelf of a convenience store in Saarijärvi, Finland. Apparently, this was the most sold book in Finland 2022.

Given that it was a nice book about Iceland written by a Finn who has lived there for 20+ years. The book describes Icelandic life in minute details (sometimes to the point of annoyance) and you can sense the slow pace of life in it. There was some murders and a mystery that gets solved but as this is not my genre, can’t really say if it was good or not. Read it if you know Finnish and like Iceland. If you also love detective stories, you probably already read it 😅
