Like the latter, Indridason succeeds perfectly the back and forth between past and present, while giving successive keys, a very accurate representation of 'the collective imagination "of his country ... You learn a lot historically, the special geopolitical Iceland, all backed by a plot that unfolds in the pages ... And it happens again to pass an emotion that makes you attached to Erlendur and his own history. Indridason has managed to go beyond good thrillers ... It touches on sociology, history, psychology of his country ... It's a great meeting!
