Review of Jar City

Jar City (2006)
7/10
I good yarn.
2 February 2010
I have read most of Arnaldur Indridason's novels about Erlendur's murder investigations in Iceland. I didn't read them in sequence: I read Jar City after reading the novels, Silence of the Grave, Voices, The Draining Lake and Arctic Chill. I loved Silence of the Grave and Arctic Chill, but didn't seem to get into his first novel (Jar City). But this book was well adapted to the big screen.

All the characters were as I had imagined them to be. The landscape and background was all there: bleak and featureless; cold and windswept.

But the music was a little off-putting: the music seemed to remind me of old Gothic horror movies.
