Critic reviews

“A remarkable series.” ( New York Times Book Review)

Chillyindeed, but warming to the soul.

At the advanced age of 87, ihave so many excellent Nordic authors. I have found all to be intelligent and vastly interesting. I hope I can read or mostly listen to every one before I pass on. And perhaps they e is a library in Heaven’

Great story

I really enjoyed the combination of story and reading. It presents an imagery of iceland & it's people along with a meandering but intriguing plot. Indridason always tells an excellent story and this audiobook is the perfect presentation. This is my 4th venture ibto his characters & I will get the rest

Another one from an Icelandic great

Where it's really "noir" most of the winter. One of the best of this genre. Excellent sides to the main story, and good characters. I love listening to these all the time I'm in my car even around town.

Great narration

Arctic Chill is based in Iceland and the author’s description places you there and you feel the cold, arctic air. The crime brings up old, buried feelings of the MMC, making this thriller more personal for the MMC and adding more to depth to Erlander (sp). I saw just a small piece of the ending coming. It was a great ending, however it felt very rushed compared to the slow and steady pace of the rest of the book.

I love this narrator! He is so easy to listen to. His different voices add such an amazing dynamic to the already good story making it a full bodied experience.

Another great Arnaldur Indridason Iceland mystery

Any additional comments?

Not sure if other reviewers listened to the same book. This is a wonderful installment of the Erlendur series. The story is rich with atmosphere and George Guidall's narration is again, spot on. For avid followers, this book also provides some interesting insight into Sigurdur Oli.
