Folks who have read and liked Indridison's earlier works about the Reykjavik Police will either love or hate this book. Love, because the spotlight is on Erlender this time. Erlender's past, Erlender's family, Erlender's personal investigations into 2 missing persons and a suicide. However, fans of the other members of the squad will be disappointed; they make cameo appearances or are just referenced without ever actually making an appearance.
The mysteries (see above) are up to Indridason's usual high standards. As are the solutions, as well. (I can't go into that these would be even tougher to describe than usual without providing any kind of spoiler, and this is NOT a book where you want to have someone spoil it for you!)
Bravo, Mr. Indridason. 5 stars.

I have enjoyed all of Indridasson's mysteries. This one I felt was clever because it ties in with his brother's tragedy. I will definite read the one I missed, The Draining Lake.
