Critic reviews

“… psychologically astute, beautifully told, and filled with insight into matters of life and death.” ( Booklist, starred review)

Suicide is a Missing Person's Case too.

I like mysteries, but this writer does something more. Arnauldur Indridason's stories are thought provoking long after the book is finished. This tale creeps up on you. This is my favorite Inspector Erlender story and the narrator does an excellent job with the characters and the Icelandic names. The end was very moving.
I hope Audible will procure more of Indridason's books. Really excellent!

Slow start but worth it

Took a little time to get used to what seemed like a slow pace but picks up speed as coincidences pile up.

Great insights into human nature

This is not an action thriller, but a mystery that shows a deep understanding of human nature.

Thank goodness for the double time option

I was looking forward to this book, but.... I have no plans to buy any more of this author's books. It was almost painful to listen to and I am pretty sure I was listening to the same book that others found compelling, but it never connected with me and about half way through, I had to put it on double time to finish it. It never got any better. Just not one for me.

Chilling Mystery

A new favorite author! Loved the story line and characters who all share an underlying sadness from loss. The antagonists are psychologically both sinister and pathetic . Enjoyed the narration as well.
