Arnaldur Indridason
Although the books appear on the Library shelves under 'I', history graduate and ex-journalist turned film critic Arnaldur Indriðason's novels featuring Detective Erlendur should be shelved under 'A' since the notional surname is, in fact a patronymic rather than a family name and he should be referred to as Arnaldur. Maybe if he didn't have such an extensive list of titles, several of which I've read previously but not commented on I might have been inclined to go with the correct practice.
I might be wrong, but at least I know where to look….
Read:
Outrage, where Detective Elinborg is left in charge of matters while Erlendur is away in a remote part of Iceland. I’d read most of the preceding titles in the series without recording the details, and while this investigation into the death of a young man who has been found in his flat with his throat cut intertwines with personal issues involving Elinborg and her family reads easily enough I’m not anxiously scanning the horizon for the sequel. Quality Nordic crime, but not essential reading.
