  <default_description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;In this new extraordinary thriller from Gold Dagger Award winner Arnaldur Indridason, the Reykjavik police are called on an icy January day to a garden where a body has been found: a young, dark-skinned boy is frozen to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Erlendur and his team embark on their investigation and soon unearth tensions simmering beneath the surface of Ice land&#8217;s outwardly liberal, multicultural society. Meanwhile, the boy&#8217;s murder forces Erlendur to confront the tragedy in his own past. Soon, facts are emerging from the snow-filled darkness that are more chilling even than the Arctic night.&lt;/DIV&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[As always Indridason delivers a good book. Not necessarily one of my favorites but still good when it comes to crime fiction. It opened up a lens into a possible issue that Iceland might be struggling with. It seemed a little slow at times and missed the punch that is typical of other novels but Erl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74094386">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm somewhat conflicted about this book. Arnaldur's writing style has solidified, and he is continuing to carefully develop his characters. His books provide a textured view into life in Iceland and into the Icelandic character.<br/><br/>This particular book deals with racism and immigration in Ic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65461033">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Indridason's books could probably be read on a lazy Sunday--but you will want to read them on a sunny day.  The dark atmosphere results not only from Iceland's unique weather conditions but drawsfrom the lives of all the characters.  After five novels, I feel safe saying I know the detectives well t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72719052">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like Indridason's writing, pretty fast-paced.  This story was interesting 'coz there were two intertwined threads running. Plus social commentary on racism in Iceland - never knew that there were so many immigrants moving to Iceland, especially from Asia!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jar City and Voices are still my favorites in this series, but I really do like the Erlandeur character. I've never figured out of his old boss Marion Briem was a man or a woman. He's very clever that the narrative nevers uses &quot;he&quot; or &quot;she&quot; and the descriptions are very carefully...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67933043">more...</a>]]></body>
