Sub-titling is an art in itself ... <BR/><BR/>Maxine - The big reveal at the end was a little improbable, I have to say, but what I liked best about the movie was the snapshot of Iceland it provided. I'll definitely be going after some of Indridason's novels after seeing it. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, DecDeclan Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322645323239292406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-91084208389360190132008-08-23T22:02:00.000+01:002008-08-23T22:02:00.000+01:00Yes, the book is excellent.

And I thought Arnaldur's next book, Silence of the Grave, was even better.
