It took some time for me to get into the story. The plot seemed a little slow to me. The story went in to many directions. I didn't like it as much as his other books.

You won't put it down easily
I've read all of Arnaldur Indridason's books and I feel he is one of the top international mystery writers. His plots and characters are unique to Iceland in many ways but fit into the international milieu as well. You never know what he will come up with next and you keep on reading....

couldn't put it down
Jjust finished reading all the book by Arnaldur Indridason and found them all to be excellently written. It was hard to stop reading and many nights didn't get to sleep before 3 A.M. I especially liked his last book, "Operation Bonaparte ". I reccomend reading all of his books preferably in order of publishing.

A Fascinating Book
This is definitely a book that will command your full attention from the first to the last page. A well developed plot and a fluid and precise narrative having as background a fascinating and mysterious scenario as only Iceland could be.
A ?must read? choice for the lovers of Sjowall & Wahloo and Henning Mankell, in the best tradition of the Swedish crime novels. I really enjoyed it!
