About this listen
The loner, Erlendur, has recently joined the police force as a young officer. The beat on the streets in ReykjavIk is busy: traffic accidents, theft, domestic violence, contraband.... And an unexplained death. When a tramp he met regularly on the night shift is found drowned in a ditch, no one seems to care. But his fate haunts Erlendur and drags him inexorably into the strange and dark underworld of the city.

At the time, an extensive search and police investigation yielded no results - one of the missing man’s business associates was briefly held in custody, but there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Soon, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who’s a bit too fond of drink and the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also turns out to be a budding novelist - and when Julie turns up as a murder victim in the unfinished mystery she’s writing, the link between fiction and real life grows.

Well done Icelandic Noir
Fans of the solitary and relentlessly serious Detective Erlandur may enjoy going back to the case which led him to discover his obsession...forgotten missing persons. Young, in uniform, and completely inexperienced at detective work, he comes across the death of an alcoholic tramp who has been found dead in a boggy field and is written off as an accidental drowning, as well as the disappearance of a woman, who is an assumed suicide. His affinity for cases like this is, as we know by now, a result of the tragic disappearance of his brother in childhood, but this is when his past first comes together with the detective he is to become--a seeker of the disappeared, an advocate of the forgotten and abandoned.
This case is none of his business, being a junior uniformed cop, but he can't help himself and pursues the answers to his own questions in what will become his trademark independent doggedness. In a decade when battered wives and the homeless are treated with casual disregard by society and the law, Erlandur is driven to find justice by his own ghosts--which, fortunately (for me, anyway), are less belabored here than in Jar City. We also first find out how ineptly he relates to others, especially women, and that even though he is obsessive in his pursuit of truth, he is still able to retain his equanimity when pulling together the clues he needs from endless interviews with the characters in the story. In the course of these interviews, these characters become fully dimensional and real to both Erlandur and the listener.
A well-written, slow-paced novel of a bleak but interesting man, seeking relief from personal anguish through his work in a bleak but beautiful country. As usual, a good narration by George Guidall, in spite of the fact that his voice is simply becoming too old for many of the characters he reads.

Slow Yet... Sort of Hypnotizing
I didn't care much about the protagonist in this Indridason story, but I'm not sure that the author did much either. Rather he uses him as a blunt, plodding tool... An irresistible force to unravel a quiet little tale of violence. It's a procedural thing set in a place and just - a tad - different culture that tugged me on through this puzzle. Yep, it is well done and George Guidall as always creates a cast I'll remember.

Brings Back Memories of Reykjavik
I have only had a problem with one of Indridason's stories, but this is not the one. It is another great who-dun-it with loads of twists and turns in the plot. Just when you are convinced who the killer is, another clue points you in the opposite direction. If you want to listen to a mystery by a non-US author this is a great choice. The narration is steady and keeps you interested. Try it you will like it.

Highest Praise for Arnaldur Indridason
As a novice reader, my earlier days of fictional literature focused purely on storylines with nonstop action and minimal character development. I must say, however , that this author has peaked my interest by creating a remarkable cast of characters from the protagonist to the minor or bit part players.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to backtrack to retrieve the earlier and post books in the Inspector Erlendur series. I was able to get Jar City (#1 in series) from the library and that too was a great read.
I’m looking forward to completing the entire series!

Good for Erlandur background AFTER you have read previous books in the series
This is an interesting book and works well after reading previous books in the series. I would not recommend reading this first because you will not be familiar with Erlandur’s life, his personal issues and future complications. Start at the beginning of the series and work your way through. Enjoy the introduction to life in Iceland, the scenery, climate, food, people and culture and enjoy the series. It is very good!

Trouble holding my attention
Would you try another book from Arnaldur Indridason and/or George Guidall?
Probably not
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The glimpses of life in Reykjavik were most interesting to me. The main character's plodding experience of life was the least engaging.
Did George Guidall do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I had to work to keep his voice from lulling me to sleep. Often had to back up & repeat scenes due to my lack of interest & story/voice's inability to keep my attention.
Did Reykjavik Nights inspire you to do anything?
No
Any additional comments?
The story moved very slowly for me. As much time was spent describing/explaining mundane incidents & situations as was spent describing/explaining significant plot developments.

George Guidall couldn't quite save it
Disappointingly thin story. Guidall's narration, which created a measure of sympathy for the characters, and which deftly handled the incredibly confusing Icelandic names, was all that made it tolerable

Wonderful
I listened to this one after I was already a huge fan. I was expecting a little backstory. I got a wonderful story

One of Arnaldur’s best
I really enjoy the Icelandic noir. Arnaldur is a great story teller and of course, George Guidall is one of the best presenters in the business.
