The boom of detective novels that began in 2008 in Spain by Stieg Larsson made possible by two things: the first was that this genre go from second to first level, the other was the amount of Nordic authors were able to consolidate here (and I say consolidate, because some, like Arnaldur Indridason or Läckberg Camilla and novels were translated in Spain before Larsson).

Precisely one of the books that came here before Men Who Hate Women was marshes of Indridason, published in 2006. However, in 2009 RBA reissued the novel, as if it premiered in Spain, after the success of the Icelandic writer harvested that year with The Woman in Green (which, curiously, was also a repeat, as in 2008 and was published under the title Silent Scream ). In marshes, the police must Erlendur Sveinsson investigate the murder of an elderly man has been found dead in his home because of a hit with an ashtray on his head. Beside the body, a note saying "I am He" makes Sveinsson starts to get the first questions, which will increase when he finds a photograph of a tomb hidden in the bottom of a drawer.

Indridason has become in recent years a safe bet for thousands of readers in Spain and titles such as marshes show why. The plot weakens not at any time, and the more advanced in reading, the more trapped we are: gradually increasing the intrigue and expand the unknowns until the investigations of Erlendur Dando had its Frutos. Indridason consigue esa adentrarnos in Iceland notemos criminal finance that even the smell of putrefaction that sometimes emanates from the story. In resumidas Accounts, The marshes are lee of a Pull and supone para cebo atraparnos in the novels of Indridason.
