This was good in the way that all of Indriadson's mysteries are good, but the translation was disappointing. It looks like the regular translator died before this was done, and it shows. Parts of it just seem flat and redundant. There were also a lot of typos and misspellings.

Fifth book in the series is a solid, well written story about the murder of a Thai child. Detective Erlendur and his fellow policemen investigate the death and along the way uncover much about racism and immigrants living in Iceland. If you like police procedurals, you will really enjoy this one.
