6. Well c'mon! What did you think of Jar City?

Do you think you'll read the rest of the series?

Indriðason is easily one of my very favorite "Scandinavian Noir" authors, and (as I've probably mentioned several times before) I've read his entire oeuvre up to the final book of his Erlander series, Strange Shores - which I'm STILL waiting for my library to get in!

I'll also be interested in what you think of Läckberg - she's up there in my Scandinavian Noir top 10 as well. I've read her entire Patrik Hedstrom series up to Buried Angels - which I'm also waiting for my library to get in.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Jar City, and I hope you'll enjoy The Ice Princess as well.
