It certainly is addictive! <br /><br />Jose: as you can see from the comments, I am far from the only reader who is enthusiastic about Indridason. And it is always nice to hear one has tempted a reader to try something new.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-26297139127024793092009-12-01T20:39:53.566+00:002009-12-01T20:39:53.566+00:00What can I say.

Actually I came across Indridason´s debut two years ago when I was asked to do a public reading at our local library (a crime night, me reading at candlelight). I fell for his works immediately. <br /><br />Elizabeth: yes, the atmosphere is dark and the protagonist gloomy, yet the stories are not at all horrid or graphic.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-7282274484874313482009-12-01T20:28:58.032+00:002009-12-01T20:28:58.032+00:00I really enjoyed THE DRAINING LAKE Dorte.

I loved this book, partly because I just like Erlunder and the series; but also because of the wonderful but tragic back-story set in Leipzig; and partly becuase of the great humour, eg as Erlunder goes round the embassies and encounters the various stuffinesses, etc.<br />Thanks again for highlighting this excellent book, and author.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-54087400849947073442009-12-01T19:25:29.523+00:002009-12-01T19:25:29.523+00:00Margot: I am glad I recommended him then.
As you...Margot: I am glad I recommended him then. <br /><br />As you can see from R.T.´s comment, Indridason is a first class crime writer, and I am sure you will also enjoy his ability to create a sense of place. It is like being there. <br /><br />R.T.: was that good enough? ;DDorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-22371915049183144982009-12-01T18:45:04.142+00:002009-12-01T18:45:04.142+00:00Dorte: Keep spreading the word--Arnaldur Indridaso...Dorte: Keep spreading the word--Arnaldur Indridason is a master.

I have to admit to not being really familiar with Indriðason, and I haven't read this one, but it does sound interesting, and the idea of a story-across stories (i.e. Sveinsson's search for his brother)fascinates me.
