Helpful Score: 2

I picked up Indridason's first mystery, Jar City, on a whim because I was looking for something different in the genre. Boy, did I find it! It got me hooked on the series. The second entry, Silence of the Grave, is even more of a departure from the norm than the first book. Subtle and well written, this story and its characters demand the reader's undivided attention from the first page and does not let up until the final word. Erlendur is a marvelous protagonist, full of human frailties and failings, and this story gives us more of a glimpse into the past that shaped him.
