The Shadow District   Arnaldur Indridason
Icelandic mystery novel that takes place during World War II and the present day. Written in very simple prose, the narrative develops in both times simultaneously. Unfortunately, that causes problems when the present day investigator is trying to figure out things that have already been explained. The ending was completely unconvincing when one of the murderers decides to just give up and explain everything. Disappointing.
