A woman has apparently died by suicide, though the police commisaire suspects murder. Then a man connected to her also dies by suicide or murder, setting off a story with connections to Iceland and Robespierre. This is a slow to develop mystery that leans into the cerebral. A low pick for me; my mom wasn‘t a fan.
