The Darkness Knows by Arnaldur Indriðason
5.0
I found this book interesting; it was the first novel from this author and my first Nordic noir book.
The story is a good, maybe a little slow pacing but I loved the atmosphere and the everyday life descriptions. I think I will look forward to reading the next book in the series.
There are a couple of things that I did not like: the first is about the “wording” often I had the feeling of a little too refined words (English is not my first language) and I don’t know if this is the author’s style or stylish choice from the translator. The second thing, more important, I didn’t like the ending it came a little too abruptly. Overall these are minor things and I really enjoyed the book and I want to thanks NetGalley and St.Martin Press for the ARC and the opportunity to know Arnaldur Indridason work.
