Death in Oslo

I enjoyed Death in Oslo by Anne Holt which is set in 2005, the year before it was first published in Norway. I read a translated edition published 2016.  A female American president, Helen Barclay, is elected in 2004 and her first state visit outside USA is to Norway, deemed a "safe" destination.  Barclay disappears from her hotel and there are frantic efforts to find her.  Detective Adam Stubo is  assigned to liaise with the FBI, and Stubo's partner Johanne Vik is very unhappy about this.  She takes their daughter and stays at an old friend's place.  Then something extraordinary happens.  There is a lot going on in this story, not all credible.  Sinister planning has been going on to orchestrate these circumstances and exploit them.  I kept reading, what will happen, how will it all pan out.  But underwhelming. 31/2/5
