For a moment there I lost faith in the story, but... goodness gracious, this was mind blowing!
The story follows Ari Thor, a young cop who just finished the police academy, and after much struggling to get a job, finally finds one in Siglufjördur. He leaves his girlfriend and the city he knows - Reikiavik - to go far north, to a small village where he is made feel like an outsider.
Mr Jónasson writes a splendid story where he tell you about the crime, and twists and turns, changes things around until you are confused, and land you on an ending you just didn’t see coming.
Have to love it.

Solid mystery, interesting lead character, although some of the relationships are a little clunky in the rendering.
Will probably read the next in the series.
