Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
'Unknown' is Mari Jungstedt's third novel featuring Detective
Superintendent Anders Knutas,and set on the Swedish island of
Gotland.It is a thorougly enjoyable read.
The plot gets under way when a horse is found decapitated
in a field,its head having been taken away.Whilst the police
are investigating ,a young female student working on an
archaeological dig for Viking artifacts is found dead,hanging
from a tree with her stomach stabbed.Neither the police enquiries,
nor the investigations of the journalist,Johan,seem to be making
progress--as further ritualistic crimes come to light--until the
final denouement.
The author's sparing style ,descriptions of Gotland and its
Viking connections,together with details of some of the characters'
lives,give a vivid sense of place and add to the enjoyment.
Jungstedt is a singular interesting writer,and I am glad that
there are more novels in this series.

Format:Paperback
This is my first novel by Jungstedt, and I enjoyed it very much. What I do love about these Scandinavian novels is the backdrop, and they way they describe it, I can imagine the frosty and extreme weather conditions that they describe and it always makes me feel warm living in these (cold) conditions of N Ireland. However this novel is set in summer so I had to contend with Inspector Knutas gettin hot and sticky instead. Jungstedt, please bring back the cold conditins that I love about Scandinavia as I feel that it gives the story much more atmosphere.

This story starts with a group of archeologists working on the dig of a viking settlement when one of the team gets murdered. Inspector Knutas and his team are to investigate however as the case progresses it appears that this is no ordinary murder but has the feel of a ritualistic killing. Before long another murder is added to the pile.

Overall this was an enjoyable read and I'm off to read the next Inspector Knutas installment, 'The Killer's Art'.

NB. Readers should be aware that this novel also goes by the name of 'The Inner circle'.
