Reviews
Unanimous Acclaim for Arnaldur Indridason and the Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson series "The best new series I've read this year. Arnaldur Indridason is already an international literary phenom---and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting and lyrical. I can't wait for the next." - Harlan Coben on Silence of the Grave "Arnaldur Indridason is a writer of astonishing gravitas and talent." - John Lescroart on Jar City "A commanding new voice . . . puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction." - Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review on Silence of the Grave "No wonder Arnaldur Indridason won so many awards. He's a great storyteller, and American readers will overwhelmingly agree." - C.J. Box, Anthony Award winning author of Blue Heaven on Jar City "Excellent . . . compelling . . . the denouement of this astonishingly vivid and subtle novel is unexpected and immensely satisfying." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Silence of the Grave "Classic mystery fiction, both compassionate and thrilling. Indridason is one of the brightest stars in the the genre's dark skies." - John Connolly on Jar City "Remarkable . . . another top-notch story from Indridason, its lyrical melancholy matched by the depth of its characterizations." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Voices "Reminiscent of Simenon." - Reginald Hill on Jar City "Every one of these writers is good [Hakan Nesser, Kjell Eriksson, Ake Edwardson, Helene Tursten, Karin Fossum], but in my book, Arnaldur Indridason is even better." - Joe Queenan, Los Angeles Times "Dark, haunting . . . touched me in a way that few mystery novels do." - Hallie Ephron, The Boston Globe on Jar City "A wonderfully storyteller. It's impossible to put the book down once you begin reading." - The Globe and Mail on Voices "Fans of mystery in general and Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum can only exult." - Library Journal (starred review) on Jar City "Indridason has definitely vaulted onto the A-list of Scandinavian crime authors." - Booklist on Silence of the Grave, Unanimous Acclaim for Arnaldur Indridason and the Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson series "The best new series I've read this year.
