The Darkness Knows by Arnaldur Indriðason

4.0

The Darkness Knows is an incredibly interesting mystery with a large, unique cast of characters and a beautiful, Icelandic setting. I really enjoyed all the historical Iceland details including the ban on alcohol and regime changes. The names were pretty complicated, though, and I had trouble keeping track of everyone. And I didn’t actually love the ending… after going through so much investigation with Konrád- a retired detective I thoroughly enjoyed- I wanted a bigger twist. It’s still a great mystery and I’d definitely recommend it to fans of police investigation, especially in a unique setting like Iceland.
