Operation Napoleon

I've read Operation Napoleon by Arnaldur Indridason which was a mystery with lots of murders set in Iceland. A plane crashes on an Icelandic glacier shortly before the end of World War II - on its way to where? Over 50 years later, the Americans see a smudge on a satellite picture which shows the plane and sends a team to investigate as the plane holds a secret they do not want exposed. A young Icelandic woman, Kristin, receives a call from her brother who is part of a group visiting the area where the plane was found and is cut off after he tells her there are soldiers in the area. Kristin then sets out to investigate and find her brother. She becomes involved in a series of "unfortunate incidents" along the way as the puzzle becomes almost clear. The author evokes the freezing landscape of this place very well but I was disappointed in the story. It is obvious from the timing of the plane crash and the book's title what the Americans were up to, but then did they or didn't they? Kristin was a silly woman, completely reckless and unconcerned about the havoc her actions would cause. I've read another of this author's books which I enjoyed so I was left disappointed by this one. 3/5
