An old Icelandic song was playing on the radio, one that had been a favourite of Erna’s, and he softly sang along about the eternal spring north in the dreamy Vaglaskógur Woods.
[Soundtrack: Vor í Vaglaskógi (Spring in Vaglaskógar) by Kaleo, originally by Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson, music by Jónas Jónasson, lyrics by Kristján from Djúpalækur.]

A song from the 1960s was playing on the radio, reminding Konrád of Erna, and he sat there in the car after shutting off the engine and listened to those sweet tones.
[Soundtrack: Perhaps the original 1966 Vor í Vaglaskógi (Spring in Vaglaskógar) performed by Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson, mentioned earlier as a favourite of Erna's.]

She knew the history of those who were at the forefront in psychic healing but realised, following her visit to that attic flat, that when life hung in the balance, she didn’t want to be the one holding on to that thread.

Had to get on it 😊. Although I'm somewhat surprised that the father's murder is still a main plot line, perhaps even in #5? Konráð's white whale.
Yep. Even in book 5, he's still looking into it. But now so are the police because it's come out that both he and his mother lied to the police in the original investigation. Konni now thinks the police suspect he and his mother together did in his dad.
