review 1: First book I've read by Ingolfsson and first time he's come to my attention. Having visited Iceland I am always interested in books by Icelandic authors. I had, as usual, no idea of who the killer was and thought the mystery was kept a mystery for a good long time. Loved the setting and the feel of Icelandic life - tho, of course, I have no idea of the authenticity of it. Will look for more books by this author.
review 2: Just your typical Icelandic mystery featuring goose hunting, cold-blooded murder and lesbians. Probably my least favorite of Ingolfsson's books that I've read - the others being House of Evidence (trains, cold-blooded murder and Nazis) and The Flatley Enigma (Icelandic poetry, cold-blooded murder and water). That being said, a solid myster... morey, and the most traditionally set up of the 3. Also the shortest. There are many threads here, and many are left to hang in the wind. It feels like the 1st episode of a television series, but as far as I know there are no sequels here (just to be clear, the mystery is wrapped up, but the detectives are left somewhat in the lurch). Recommended for mystery fans. less
