Cielo nero

Well, not actually about Erlendur.

This feels as though the author wanted to get inside the head of one of his side characters - Erlendur's colleague Sigurdur Oli.

Not the best in the series, but it drew me in.

I was not expecting to like this one all that much. Oli is hardly my favorite character and I wasn't excited to follow him for a whole book. Little did I understand that he is the himbo supreme. Black Skies reads like a super raw American crime novel, like McBain, but it also has a thematic cohesiveness that adds a ton of power to it. Now, onto Strange Shores. Eastward!

This was my first time sampling this author's work, and I've started rather late in the series. Whilst I disliked the main protagonist, overall I enjoyed the book, found it gripping with many plot twists. I shall definitely add it's predecessors to my lengthy want-to-read list.
