I am actually not all that much into murder mysteries! But I have come to enjoy these Icelandic novels (although, like most Skandinavian mysteries, they're pretty grisly and dark - but the pervading Icelandicness of them is just so fascinating!), and I adore the Oscar Wilde murder mysteries (but then, they're basically Sherlock Holmes, only with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle in the roles of Holmes and Watson). There are exceptions to every rule, I guess!
I've read the Detective Erlendur novels in English, so translations definitely exist! The author's name is Arnaldur Indriðason, the first novel in the series is called either Jar City or Tainted Blood (not sure which is the British and which is the American title, but you'll probably find out).
