the second book in his Magnus Jonson series. I finished the first book of the series, Where Shadows Lie earlier last week. I have the next two books of the series on order at my library.
The series is a bit of an odd duck - written by a Brit, featuring a detective who's an Iceland-born emigrant to the U.S. who works for the Boston P.D., who ends up back in Iceland. But the first two books were engaging, if of questionable realism, and I like the protatgonist and the stories so far. The author obviously studied his Icelandic geography, topography, and history. And I'm a sucker for any book that takes place in Iceland - which I find unreservably fascinating.
Michael Ridpath is no Arnaldur Indriðason, but his two Iceland books have been entertaining so far, and left me wanting to know what happens next.
Today I started I Can See in the Dark by Karin Fossum (Norway). It's stand-alone novel, not part of her Inspector Sejer series. I'm olny 20 pages in, so it's far too soon for me to say much about it. Meanwhile, I'm on the waiting list for Fossum's #10 Inspector Sejer book, The Murder of Harriet Krohn. Once I finish I Can See in the Dark, I will have read everything she's written - that is to say, everything that's in English translation.
