Hypothermia by Arnaldur Indriðason
2.0
I liked the way that this book slowly built the clues and the reader and the detective basically discovered them at the same time. That said, I felt like I knew where the book was going from the beginning. I also could have done without the italicized chapters that gave voice to the victim.
I loved reading all the place names and character names for Iceland, though. I have no familiarity with Icelandic and have never been to the country, so I'm sure there were subtle references that I totally missed. Still, the general foreigness of the names and places helped set the scene for me.
This is probably a 2.5 star book for me. I'd be interested to read another book from this series -- maybe [b:Jar City|280366|Jar City|Arnaldur Indriðason|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173382030s/280366.jpg|1127182].
