The likes of Stieg Larsson, Jo Nesbo and Henning Mankell might have grabbed most of the spotlight in the recent (indeed ongoign) Scandinavian thriller writer wave, but they are only the tip of what seems to be quite an astounding crime and thriller writing iceberg. And perhaps one author who actually more than matches that illustrious trio is Arnaldur Indridason, with his Murder in Reykjavik series, featuring Detective Erlendur, a quiet, efficient man with a keen sense of justice.
Strange Shores is being called the last book in the Erlendur series. It is the first one I have read (I have not seen others in bookstores, alas - time to head to the Kindle once again) and I certainly hope that Indridason does not retire him. For, Strange Shores has a feature that one does not often see in thrillers.
Elegance.
