Bom, intenso. Deixou-me agarrada, com desprezo e raiva por várias personagens e esperança e compaixão por outras, conseguindo-me enganar várias vezes sobre qual o verdadeiro rumo da trama. Li a última metade do livro durante uma insómnia. E agora fiquei com vontade ler mais.

this is the best mystery I've read so far this year. I will definitely be reading more of this series.

Finally got around to reading the second book in this series (at least I think it's the second book). This time a body is found in a remote area in a grave that has been there for quite some time. Once gain Erlendur and this team are busy trying to identify who is the dead body in the grave as well as dealing with issues in their private lives. So far these books are not something you'd read if looking for a cheery, pick-me-up book, but they are an interesting look at life in Iceland.

Es una novela policíaca, pero por como va entremezclando hilos, historias de personajes, del presente y del pasado, casi te olvidas de que lo es. Me ha gustado todo: los personajes, la historia principal y las secundarias, el ritmo, la forma de entremeclar las historias... Altamente recomendable.

While not quite as good as the first Jar City, I still really enjoyed this look at an investigation into a set of old bones dating back to World War Two in Iceland.

Å du verden denne ble bra! Fy meg som klaget på slow progresjon! Selv om jeg mistenkte hvem de først fant i graven en stund før mål, så ble historien annerledes. Gode karakterer, stillferdig krim uten å bli kjedelig (til tross for at det gikk noe sakte i starten), men med en hjertevarm slutt. Sjelden jeg heier fram mordere, men jammen meg... Jepp, så absolutt over gjennomsnittet god!
