Description

When the gutted body of a businessman is discovered in the Icelandic embassy in Berlin, Iceland's best detectives are sent to Germany to investigate the crime. The stab wounds and the murder weapon - an elegant hunting knife - suggest a ritualistic killing. But the only suspects present in the sleek modern office building were some of the island nation's cultural elite, including Jón the Sun Poet and ceramics artist Lúdvík Bjarnason. The victim is someone few would miss, and investigators Birkir and Gunnar, joined by forensics expert Anna Thórdardóttir, wager they have an open-and-shut case on their hands. What they find is anything but: The crime reeks of premeditation and vengeance, and leads the team into a sordid tale of international child abuse, arson, and retribution.

good

I have to revise my opinion of this one. I listened to it for a second time at work tonight, and it wasn't nearly as slow as I remembered.
The one scene that I really, strongly remembered wasn't the murder, or the crime scene, or the horrifying description of a past incident. Nope. It was the scene at the trade show, where the German vendors groan about the "quirky" Icelandic poet making a noisy scene again.
I'm not sure why, but everything about that scene bothered me. I have a deep loathing of trade shows, home shows and the like. They make me extremely uncomfortable. And they're also incredibly boring. And then the idea of some smug, raging jerk making a big scene in public while you're stuck at a booth is just completely nightmarish. So yes. In my mind, this was the excruciatingly slow, boring trade show mystery.

It isn't actually that bad. I even laughed a few times! Ok, it's still slow, and honestly, not all that much happens, but the story is put together very well, and the characters are genuinely great. And as I mentioned, there were several bits that appealed to my sense of humor.
