Jar City by Arnaldur Indriðason

4.0

This Icelandic mystery shares the spare, telegraphic style of many Scandinavian police procedurals. And while it seems like you are being kept at arms length, you will be surprised by the end of the novel how much you know and care about the protagonist.

This novel uses the setting of Iceland not just as the place, but also as an integral part of the story. I learned a lot about a country I don't often hear about.

Definitely recommend.
