Grab Your Edition Black Skies (Inspector Erlendur #10) Conceived By Arnaldur Indriðason Disseminated As Volume
amazing, Indridason sweet and soulful I don't know another mystery writer except perhaps for Camilleri who is able to weave you so artfully into the lives of his characters, the setting, their moral dilemmas, the angst of being police detectives and, of course, the crimes themselves here he takes us into the world of Sigurdur Oli, as Outrage took us into the world of Elinborg this book more or less takes place in the same moment as Outrage! the breakup of his marriage, his to the right politics, fractured relationships with his parents and friendships dating back to high school and mixes them up with some interconnected or not so interconnected crimes that chill us with their Icelandic coldness.
Only thing wrong with this book Indridason is tormenting his fans with hints about his great detective Erlendur who has disappeared into the frozen wilds of Eastern Iceland and his past! I can hardly wait to see what Indridason does next!!!!! Langweiliger Fall, sehr verwirrende Handlung, Namen, Randinfos und Personen Zusammenhänge.
War nicht so meins, hätte wahrscheinlich mit Bandbeginnen sollen, . . Otro gran regalo y un gran descubrimiento, La traducción al castellano de esta edición es exquisita,
Me encantó el estilo del autor, el ritmo al presentar sucesos y personajes, y su capacidad de explotar con sentido la relación entre casualidad y coincidencia.
Inicié la saga por esta entrega y curiosamente es, al parecer, la única en la que no aparece el Inspector Elendur protagonista de la serie mayor motivo para apreciar al autor si consigue trazar una historia robusta únicamente con "secundarios".
Y como curiosidad final, . . los nombres propios es el primer libro "islandés" que leo y me pareció muy interesante la composición de los nombres propios.
Another great book by what I would consider one of my top favorite authors! The last read was missing Erlender, who is off on holiday, supposedly, back to where he grew up, and was about Elinborg.
This one is about Sigurdur Oli, and runs in parallel with the book I read previous.
I am starting to worry about Erlender, so is Eva Lind. I am hopeful one of these books is a follow up, if Erlender is in trouble, he will need their help,
مرت فترة من الصمت. .
كانت الموسيقى من حولهما إيطالية و كذلك الطعام الذي كانا ينتظرانه. .
فقط الصمت بينهما كان أيسلنديا
عودة إلى آيسلندا حيث الآلام تنخر الروح كما ينخر الصقيع العظم. . و حيث تستعرض في كتاب واحد عدة قضايا من ذلك المجتمع النائي سلسلة من الوقائع التي يندى لها الجبين لا تقل أي منها شناعة عن الأخرى لكن لعل أبرز ما حاول أندريداسون مناقشته هو اغتصاب الطفولة و تجارة أفلام الأطفال الإباحية و الضرر التي تحدثه على نفسية الطفل في المدى الطويل و هنا استعان بشخصية أندريس التي ظهرت كشخصية فرعية في رواية قشعريرة لنراها الآن تظهر على السطح بدور أكبر و ألم يطغى على كل الحكاية و يستمر أندريداسون مع الابتزاز و العلاقات المشبوهة و سوق الأموال و المصارف و ما يجري فيه من عمليات احتيال. .
يستمر غياب المحقق ارليندور كما الحال في رواية غضب ليتولى سيغودور أولي التحقيق في الجرائم و مع أن هذا يتيح لنا التعرف أكثر على شخصية سيغودور أولي و طبيعة حياته إلا أن الأجواء المرافقة لعالم ارليندور و وحدته و ذكرياته الأليمة هي ما كانت تسبغ السلسلة بنوع من الكآبة العذبة التي لطالما جذبتني لحكايات ارنالدور اندريداسون و علقت قلبي برواياته.
Since I reserverating for books I hate, this gets, Huge disappointment and total waste of time, I bought this book before I had a falling out with the author's works and it took me a long time before I picked it up.
I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd just let it go unread, It is bleak, depressing and boring from start to finish, There is not a likeable character in sight, There is nothing wrong with the plotting and the theme child pornography is important, but nothing of value is added.
There is nothing new here and nothing to hang on to, About as cheerful as suicide note, Not recommended. Me gustan los policiales nórdicos, pero no conocía al autor islandés Arnáldur Indridason.
Fue una de esas descargas compulsivas de Kindle, hace un par de años, Y no me arrepiento. La historia atrapa y tiene mucho ritmo, pasan cosas todo el tiempo, Aunque es un libro corto, tiene varias historias paralelas que se van uniendo, Lo leí en un día, casi en un tirón lo recomiendo si les gusta un policial bien resuelto.
I wasn't impressed with "Jar City" mainly because I found the pace too slow for my taste but I could no longer continue to ignore Arnaldur Indridason's Inspector Erlandur's exceptionally good reviews by my GR Friends.
Inspector Erlandur is otherwise occupied here so the action falls to Inspector Sigurdur Oli, Sigurdur is approached by an old school friend to help retrieve some pictures for a friend that is apparently a victim in a blackmail scheme.
Sigurdur agrees to help but by not reporting the blackmail scheme originally, he must now solve the more complex mystery encompassing international banking, murder and blackmail to stay above water himself.
Indridason weaves this very elegant and complex novel with a potential revenge killing by a child abuse victim.
Sigurdur is a lonely, disappointed man in general but I liked him because he doggedly pursue's his concept of justice in an unjust world.
My first "Jar City" impression of Arnaldur Indridason's people was shortsighted and I'm now glad I gave this unique group of Icelandic detectives another go.
They drive the action in subtle yet compellingly interesting ways, Now it's back to Iceland for the other books in the series, Erlendur toujours en vacances dans l'est islandais, Ou en retraite. Ou carrément disparu
Prétexte en tous cas pour Indridason de, aprés l'inspectrice cuisinière Elinborg, donner la vedette due épisode de la série au ndu trio, l'agaçant Sigurdur Oli.
Comme toujours, deux situations différentes en parallèle, Celle d'un pauvre petit bonhomme qui a subi, enfant, les pires outrances, et une autre plantée dans le décor qui a précédé la grande débandade bancaire islandais en.
Donc encore une autre facette de cet étonnant petit pays si fascinant et complexe,
Souvent sordide mais, comme toujours avec Indridason, jamais vulgaire, la grande une des! qualité de l'auteur.
Sigurdur Oli agace, là où Erlendur se torture et Elinborg captive par son empathie, mais Indridason étoffe le personnage, le fissure dans ses certitudes, le rend même sympathique.
Bref, renouvellement dans la brume islandaise,
Mais Erlendur Il va ressurgir ou non Suspense, . . What a mess of a book, I've really enjoyed this series until this book, In the course of the series, Sigurdur Oli was the character I liked the least and this story didn't help.
He is a snob and a boring one at that, There doesn't seem any other police officers working other than the one that tells him off.
As for the plot, it is so thin you can read a newspaper through it and that would probably be a better use of your time.
The strands in which the two stories are intertwined are ridicously thin, Honestly, one or the other story would have been interesting but put together this way just doesn't work.
I'm really disappointed in this, Partly because I have enjoyed this series so much and partly because the book is just not good.
Erlendur is still on vacation somewhere, So after Elinborg last book it's Sigurdur Oli's turn to star in this new book which takes place at the same time than Elinborg's.
Sigurdur has to investigate the agression of a libertine blackmailer and dig up the dirty secrets of an icelandic banking system that seems to have lost all sense of values.
And reason as well. And then there's the pathetic case of Dresiwho appeared in Arctic chillwho never could get over with what happened to him as a kid.
The plot is well done, two of the investigations deftly intertwined, As often the case in Indridason's novels, the relations between the characters, be they friends or total strangers, are a bit odd.
Cold. Detached. As for those between the Police and suspects they're even stranger, If it took place in the USA I can't imagine Sigurdur going through half his questions to any of the bankers before getting a restraining order.
I reckon that's Iceland for you,
During the previous books Sigurdur seemed to basically be an asshole, haughty with as much empathy as a kitchen sink.
I won't lie to you, he doesn't become much more sympathetic,
Which doesn't mean he wasn't interesting, We happen to know more about his parents and be the witnesses of the end of his couple with Bergthora.
When he finally understands Dresi's ordeal he shows his heart is not entirely made of stone.
He has frailties and regrets, No doubt he'll be back to his old self in the next book but it was nice to see him under a new light.
He and Elinborg deserved their own books,
As for the style, Indridason is constant, Dry, cold, without affect. Can't say I'm too fond of it but the plot and the characters make up for it.
A suspected blackmailer is found murdered in this gripping
crime story from the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger winner, Arnaldur Indridason.
Detective Sigurdur Oli is in trouble,
After a school reunion exposes the chasm between his life and those of his much more successful contemporaries, leaving him bitter and resentful, one of his old friends asks him to pay an unofficial visit to a couple of blackmailers.
He readily agrees, only to arrive to find one of the pair lying in a pool of blood.
When the victim dies in hospital, Sigurdur Oli is faced with investigating a murder without revealing his own reasons for being present at the murder scene.
Moving from the villas of Reykjavik's banking elite to a sordid basement flat, "Black Skies" is a superb story of greed, pride and murder from one of Europe's most successful crime writers.
