Hypothermia ~ Arnaldur Indridason

Hypothermia
by Arnaldur Indridason

This mystery was just as it should be. A woman commits suicide or did she? The detective must determine if it’s murder or not. The story is revealed a step at a time, a logical progression of deduction and you, the reader, get to go along for the ride.

Hypothermia was satisfying from start to finish. I haven’t read any of the others in the series but like the character, Detective Erlendur. He’s just flawed and quirky enough to hold my interest. I could grow to really like him as he seems to have a sensitive side that has appeal. I got just enough of a chill, both literally and from the setting, Reykjavík, Iceland. I didn’t figure out the whole mystery until quite close to the end.  

I’ll have to try another at a future date and see if I can get a bit more info on what makes Erlendur tick. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this to those liking Steig Larrson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but would hand it to anyone liking a mystery that is serious, a bit brooding, and with a well thought out plot.
