I think To Kill a Mockinbird is a great book, of the classic, long-term sense. I think most of Arnaldur Indridason's books are great, in a less profound way.
I think this book is really good. The writing is very good, if not really great. I love that it immerses me in the culture of another time and place, even if that means it makes me look at hard realities. I like the way the main character has to manage his PTSD, keep his secrets and navigate a fairly hostile setting to solve a mystery that a lot of people don't want him to solve. I want to see him face future adventures. There are twists and turns on top of and within twists and turns. And, by the end, I cared about some of the characters more than I realized along the way.
So, is it great? I think one might argue that it is. For me, it is pretty close and more than worth the time and money spent on it. (less)
