The Shadow District: A Thriller by Arnaldur Indriðason

2.75

A good plot, the story well told in non linear fashion, but it was not distracting. The problem was the translation. By the reviews and reputation of Arnaldur Indridason, I can’t possibly see his writing be so simplistic with short, unrealistic dialogue. I’ve also read that Victoria Cribb is a decent translator, but somewhere along the lines, things went astray. Still, I cared enough for the plot to plod through and finish. 2.75
