The ending crushes your soul. Erlandur is a side story in this one— prefer the books where he is the focus

Husband stacked his Indrisason #Iceland books for me to choose one for #readingeurope2020. Any recommendations from this stack?

charl08 I've only read Jar City from that stack, but like his books. His WW2 ones are good too. 4y
rabbitprincess Hypothermia was my favourite but it is not in the stack! 4y
Texreader @charl08 I‘d like to start with his WW2 books. Wish the husband had those! 4y

Finished this when I woke early. So glad I read another of his books. This was much better. I enjoyed the story. Loved the setting . I felt the translation much better than the last one I read. Our local library has a good selection of his books so I might read more someday.
