Buried Secrets

Ashes to Dust is the third title in Yrsa Sigurdardóttir's series following the somewhat hectic life of lawyer/reluctant crime fighter/single mother Thóra Gudmundsdóttir.  Following the excavation of a town buried under volcanic ash, Thóra must rush to solve a decades-old quadruple homicide to clear her client's name.  When the only person that could provide insight into the slayings turns up dead from apparent suicide, things get a bit more interesting.  Can Thóra juggle her private and professional lives and get to the bottom of the buried secrets in Ashes to Dust?  HM
