Arnaldur Indriðason
A very quick and easy read. I started this book on a Sunday morning and completed it before 5:00 in the afternoon. A very well written crime novel which utilizes the unique environment of Iceland as a key component. A murder quickly turns into a thriller which makes a social statement – what do you do when a genetic database has names and lives attached?
I picked up two more of Indridason’s novels and I’ll be reviewing them shortly – I completed each one in one sitting. I love the crispness of his writing, the story moved with a rapid pace, but covered a lot of ground – thorough but not boring.
