Speaking of European Mysteries ...

Today in January Magazine, contributing editor Ali Karim looks at the novel Voices, by Arnaldur Indridason.

The third English-translated work from this award-winning Icelander finds his dour series sleuth, Erlendur, holed up in a large, classy Reykjavík hotel at Christmastime, ducking his daughter’s attentions while he tries to figure out who stabbed a Santa-dressed doorman.

“Icelander Arnaldur Indridason is, in my opinion, one of the modern masters of the police procedural,” says Karim.

The full review can be found here.
