Review: Jar City
Jar City by Arnaldur IndriðasonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A seventy-year old man is murdered, hit on the head with a heavy glass ashtray, in his basement flat in Nordurmyri. Reykjavik CID arrive at the scene, with Detective Inspector Erlendur in charge. He and his partner, Sigurdur Oli, begin the search for the murderer, who left a note on the body, with only three words, written in pencil. Another clue is found, taped to the bottom of the desk drawer, a photo of a grave stone.
"Squalid, pointless and committed without any attempt to hide it, change the clues, or conceal the evidence," says Sigurdur Oli.
Erlunder agrees, "A pathetic, Icelandic murder."
The victim has a past. He was accused of rape many years ago but not convicted. Detective Erlendur must hunt, not just for the killer, but for his or her possible connection to the cold case.
The grim story is revealed slowly, and as the middle aged, seasoned detective delves into solving the mysterious crime, he struggles with personal demons, including a daughter, Eva Lind, whose drug addiction torments him.
The author, Arnaldur Indridason, is so gifted, you actually feel the cold, wet chill of autumn in Iceland. The many avenues of this story make you breathless. Indridason won the Nordic Crime Novel Award, and won again for the sequel, Lady in Green. The language may seem awkward at times due to translation into English.
