This book is interesting, surprisingly so given that the characters are only moderately likeable and the plot moves between the careful investigation of the current 1970s crime and the somewhat stilted diaries of the victim's father. Some readers may lose patience with the technical details of possible railway construction in Iceland between the two world wars or with description of historical artifacts in the house (The House of Evidence)--both highly relevant to the plot, it turns out. I found investigation of the forensic evidence interesting but did find myself reading quickly over some other details, such as the diarist's description of hikes and drives through unfamiliar areas. In general, I found the gradual unfolding of the motivation behind the killing held my interest through the slower parts of the book. Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson is a civil engineer and used his background well in creating a credible scenario and the ultimate solution to the mystery. And I appreciated learning about Iceland and the interaction of Iceland and its citizens with other European countries as WWI and WWII were brewing.
This novel is the story of the deaths of a father and son, in 1945 and 1973, respectively, by the same gun. This is not your typical Nordic mystery, with a tormented protagonist seeking to solve a murder while drinking away his own problems. It is in part a police procedural, circa 1970s, full of details of how police investigate a crime, the latter of the two deaths. The detectives involved are the motley collection that you would find in a real department. The original death is depicted through diary entries from the dead father inserted at the end of each chapter. At first, this mechanism put me off. But once I got accustomed to them, they became the most important and interesting part of the novel, because they gave insights not only into his character, but also into the character of Iceland during his life. That period covered the early 20th century, a time of great upheaval in the world, and the father witnesses these events as a student and trainee in Denmark and Germany, then in Iceland, as even that isolated nation goes through a period of flirtation with communism and fascism. As the novel progressed, I wanted to see even more of this history, because the procedural became boring and the "mystery" became obvious. The ultimate revealing of the mode of the deaths was anticlimactic. The book was interesting for someone like me planning to visit Iceland in the near future, but less so as a mystery.
I felt a deep and forbidding unsettling in my soul before completing the last chapter. One who has not lost, to some violent act of tragedy and death, an exceedingly strong father figure, especially at the age of Jacob Junior would never be able to absorb the immense disruption which follows. Undeniable and unforeseeable changes in psyche, one's self worth, loss of social standing,view of the world and one's subsequent place in it. I am amazed at how dead on the author closed this novel with complete translation of the lives and deaths of all who expired. I was 23years old when I witnessed the violent assassination of my 59 year-old father attempting to save me horrible abuse that began at age 15 at the high school sweetheart I married. I am Jacob Junior. I did not recover in any way and am now hated by my 39 year old son because of my PTSD and clinical depression. My physician said my recent mini-stroke are a result of early age multiple head injuries. I applaud this auteur's gift in the magnificence of his storytelling. He was exceptionally accurate in how he closed the lives of all who weren't allowed to live to the end. 😢
Disclaimer: I purchased this ebook for free during a sale.Ingolffson's "House of Evidence" consists of 399 absolutely packed pages - he has a true gift for giving a very full picture of a scene and using many different kinds of sensory input to place the reader within the pages of the book. It is clear that he has envisioned everything down to the very last detail, and he makes sure to convey all of these details to the reader - at times, it can actually be rather draining, a few smaller details here and there would not have been missed. His style is technical and clear overall, though as a result, some of his more tender moments could have been more poignant.However, technically speaking, this may or may not be due to his own work or the abilities of the translators. While I know nothing of the novel's mother language, I can say for certain that the translation is not only entirely comprehensible, it shows mastery of English, as opposed to utilization of a limited vocabulary, as some translated works tend to do.The main cast in "House of Evidence" consists of the investigative team and those directly connected with strange twin murder cases, separated by decades. The characters were distinctly hit-or-miss: Some were very accessible and well developed, while others fell rather flat. However, character development picked up greatly in the second half, so while the novel starts somewhat slowly, readers are greatly rewarded for their patience. Indeed, one of the most compelling characters in the book is the elder Jacob Kieler, who is revealed only through his diary entries, of which there are several at the end of each chapter. While they tell a compelling tale, they are somewhat numerous, and could potentially have been reduced in number and length. Again, a bit too much extraneous detail.As to the plot, it follows a fairly standard whodunnit format, though it is enhanced by the revolving point of view between the detectives and police force. It is plodding, however, and due to the occasional flat character, I sometimes just needed a break from reading. Again, the end is worth the wait - it does get quite dark, but the secrets revealed are beyond anything that could have been guessed at.One key thing to note that irked me however, was the awkward treatment of a transgendered individual - the narrative force assigning pronouns stuck to one, while the character openly acknowledged the other. This disparity was slightly grating, though the fact that it existed at all was a progressive note for a novel written in 1998 and set in the early 70s. Also included was a rather derogatory comment regarding a homosexual, but again, given the setting of the novel, it is accurate to the time and place, if an unfortunate reminder.Bottom line: Slow moving, but, much like a train, once it picks up speed, nothing can stop it. A worthy read. Appropriate for: Mystery fans, adult demographic.Trigger warnings: (***SOME SPOILERS AHEAD***)Recollections of torture, mutilationContact me at: SeanOnAmazon@gmail.com
