WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD previous winners include Henning Mankell, Jo Nesb, Karin Fossum, Stieg Larsson and Arnaldur Indridason WINNER OF THE DANISH DEBUTANT AWARD WINNER OF THE HARALD MOGENSEN PRIZE A car is found on a deserted beach on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. On the back seat lies a cardboard box containing the body of a small boy buried in newspaper cuttings. No one knows his name, and there is no trace of a driver. The last thing an ailing tourist resort needs is a murder, and the police are desperate to close the case. The island is rife with rumours about the reclusive Erhard. Two decades of self-imposed exile from his wife and children have left him alienated and alone, whiling away his days in a drunken haze, driving an old taxi to get by. This unlikeliest of detectives determines to solve the crime himself and he has nothing to lose. But how can one old man, cut off from the modern world, solve a murder whose dangerous web of deceit stretches far beyond the small island? And what if the killer forces Erhard to confront his own long-buried past?

introspection, self
reflection — turn inward to
find your way to light.

The Hermit is my main card for this week. Here‘s a translation for the French:

VIIII - The Hermit
It is a time of rest and reflection, of introspection and solitude...
With my pilgrim's staff, I advance quietly, letting myself be guided by my inner light.

Mehso-so

Enjoyable enough as I was reading the book while on holiday in Fuerteventura so I could picture where I was etc.
The story was middling. Got a little lost and confused and the ending, in my opinion was not worth the wait. No suspense here really and I felt the story was muddled.
