Summary

When 16-year-old Dísa is given five bitcoin by her divorced father she is unimpressed. But a year later, when her grandparents are about to lose their farm near the Icelandic village of Dalvik, quiet, unassuming Dísa is able to rescue it with the profits from her astute trading of her father's gift. Unknown to Dísa, her mother Helga catches the cryptocurrency bug. Not only does Helga invest in Thomocoin, a new cryptocurrency sweeping Iceland, but she persuades many of her neighbours in Dalvík to invest too, taking a cut for herself. Helga is found murdered on the hillside above the farm and Inspector Magnus Jonson investigates. Magnus realises that Dísa, now a 19-year-old student, can help him unveil the shadowy forces behind Thomocoin. But torn between loyalty to her family and fear for her life, Dísa has other ideas.

Ok but not his best

Love the concept regarding cryptocurrency but felt it lacked the jeopardy and that in parts the writing seemed a little lazy/rushed. There were a lot of moments of exposition which were unnecessary and felt like padding.
Seán Barrett delivered a good performance as usual.

Best yet

This is my favourite "Magnus" so far! Having visited Iceland for the first time at the start of the year and being utterly bowled over by the place, probably added to my enjoyment of the book. No spoilers, but there was very nice character development in this one, a ripping yarn of a story and SB was as ever, superb.
