Tracey Danville, AR, United States 02-14-13 Member Since 2007I am a voracious reader (average about 4-5 Audible books a week, in addition to those I "eyeball".) I have been hooked on recorded books since the time of cassettes/CDs and was thrilled when I became an Audible member in 2007. I find reader reviews good guides to spending my credits, so have finally decided to write a few (although, I would rather be reading!)

"Great Icelandic police procedural"
Very enjoyable novel set in Iceland. Detective inspector Erlendur Sveinsson investigates the murder of an older recluse. The protagonist is 50ish, divorced and alienated from his 2 adult kids (at least one of whom is a drug addict.) The plot is interesting and the mystery (although not multi-level or unforeseeable) is intriguing. The novel could have been improved with increased character development of Erieindur's fellow detectives, Sigurdur Oli and Elinborg. I would have liked to seen a bit more of the local color, to the give the Iceland setting a bit more uniqueness. Nevertheless, this was a good read, made even more enjoyable with the talented narration of George Guidall, who is one of my favorite narrators.

Is there anything you would change about this book?I felt the story was a little slow and I was disappointed in the ending. I was hoping for more twists and turns through out the novel.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?I found the setting of Iceland fascinating.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?Wonderful, could not have been better.
