Jar City

First make yourself an Icelander Icicle:
1 1/2 oz cold vodka
3/4 oz cream
splash of mint liquor, garnish with mint leaves and pour over ice - then settle in for this light Reykjavic - not quite thriller - but detective novel. I finished it in a couple days. The lead character has his own problems besides a dead old man, his pregnant drug-taking daughter, a 40 year old rape case. I loved the setting (I've been to Iceland) and the genetics element. I would definitely read more from this series. Not a "girl with a dragon tattoo" but different - which we so often need!
