A review by bethaniekay
Silence of the Grave by Arnaldur Indriðason

4.0

This is the second book I've read by this author, and I liked it just as much (if not a tiny bit more) than the first. The writing style is great, and I'm not sure if that's a product of the Icelandic-English translation, or the author, or both -- but I do like it nonetheless :) The thriller/mystery itself was good, and even I didn't suspect exactly how it turned out, even if I had a small inkling. I also enjoyed getting a little bit more of a glimpse into Inspector Erlendur's past, and admit I was very happy that his idiotic daughter Eva Lind was all but nonexistent in this one (she annoys me and doesn't interest me in the least). Looking forward to reading the next in the 'series', which I just happen to have in my hands right now, thanks to a fellow booklover/friend who loaned it to me :)
