Inspector Erlendur returns in this award-winning international best-seller.

The Christmas rush is at its peak in a grand ReykjavIk hotel when Inspector Erlendur is called in to investigate a murder. The hotel Santa has been stabbed to death, and Erlendur and his fellow detectives find no shortage of suspects between the hotel staff and the international travelers staying for the holidays.

I'm Hooked!

This is my third Icelandic noir mystery by Arnaldur Indridason. Absolutely excellent writing and narration.

Another captivating story!

You cannot help but love the main characters, faults and all. This story takes place during the Christmas holidays which always makes me fall a little more in love with a story. His stories always leave you guessing right to the end..

unlike any story plot I have ever heard

the suttle dark humor and the not so suttle humor. The characters were unusual and interesting.

Love the series

Such a laid back thoughtful story, perfect narration. Opens a window on Iceland, and the idiosyncratic (to me) police procedures, and general outlook on life.

Farther Christmas

Plumbing the depths of pathos and forming pearls from pain. The pacing is addictive, the suspense seductive and the lessons lasting. I always feel great narration and good stories should be a valid form of therapy. Exquisitely read and deeply affecting. I'll never look at child stardom or child abuse in the same way.
