A Dinah Pelerin Mystery

review 1: In Matthews’ mystery novel, ethno botanist Dinah Pelerin is on her way to Norway hoping that work and a trip afar will help her regroup after a romance gone wrong. Serving as part of the United States delegation, her duty is to insure the preservation of precious Hawaiian heirloom seeds in a doomsday vault. Accompanying her is a group of profit-driven senators and money-hungry executives with agendas all their own that include a mythical Norse battle. When a reporter is found murdered, a senator’s wife goes missing, and a blizzard approaches, Dinah sets out to uncover the truth before a ruthless killer kills again.An intelligent sleuth and a great story make a wonderful addition to the A Dinah Pelegrin Mystery series.
review 2: This mystery book is quite... more different than most of the other mysteries I've read. It brings in politics, Norwegian folklore, environmental issues, and teaches you a bit of Norwegian words along the way. Out of the many mystery books I've read, I've never come across the combination of these topics. I am not usually all that interested in political matters but without it in this book, it wouldn't be quite as good. I'm definitely glad that I was given the opportunity to read it.I enjoyed the wide range of characters in the book. From the politicians to the political activists, to the waitresses and shopkeepers, all of them added a little something to the story. While there were many different characters, I felt especially connected to the main character, Dinah. She is very bold and adventurous, and has a knack for investigating (which isn't surprising since she is an anthropologist). Reading her inner dialogue, especially when she's trying to solve the crimes, was really enjoyable. The storyline had many twists and turns that made it all the more interesting. Though, I wish the story had continued on a bit more to give more closure on what happened with Dinah after all was said and done. Overall, the book is an enjoyable read. For anyone who enjoys mystery books, I definitely recommend reading the description of the book and give it a chance. You won't regret it!
