Certes ce n’est pas le titre le plus connu d’Arnaldur Indriðason, et ceci explique peut-être cela, mais je crois que je me suis plutôt ennuyée pendant cette lecture audio (et pourtant, le lecteur lisait un peu trop vite à mon goût !), où je n’ai pas vraiment trouvé le suspens ou l’atmosphère que j’espérais. En fait, la résolution de l’enquête m’importait peu, de même que les états d’âme de l’inspecteur. Le polar n’est pas un genre pour moi, cette lecture audio le confirme.
