Recenzii
Dark,
chilling
and
utterly
gripping,The
Islandis
Nordic
noir
at
its
best,
and
is
destined
to
become
a
classic
of
the
genre.
I
couldn't
put
it
down.
I
can't
wait
to
read
the
rest
of
the
Hulda
series!
Few writers at work today conjure atmosphere with such power, or plot their mysteries with such craft.The Islandis his best book yet, an unflinching thriller that braids past and present, good and evil, love and loss. I can't wait for Hulda Hermannsdóttir's next case
No one does isolation better than Ragnar Jonasson, who is superb at portraying Iceland's stark landscape and savage beauty . . . [Hulda Hermannsdottir is] an excellent addition to the growing band of top-class women detectives
Prepare to be swept away to the beautiful yet unforgiving island of Elliðaey in Jónasson's latest Icelandic noir. Atmospheric and creepy,Jónassonsuccessfully keeps you guessing till the bittersweet end
A chilling novel about people with dark secrets, protecting themselves without a thought for the consequences.
Riveting
We heart the melancholy Hulda
A strikingly evoked picture of Iceland's forbidding beauty...Hulda Hermansdottir is a striking character - both gloomy and tenacious - and she is a key reason for the success of this atmospheric novel
Extraordinary, the three books in that series are all amazing . . . very moving all the way through
This kept me guessing right up until the final pages. I loved the vivid landscapes, brilliant characterisation and intricate plotting. Bravo!
Consider this one of the author's best plots, layered with that dour Scandinavian atmosphere we love
Ragnar Jonasson is the Stephen King of Icelandic thrillers
Ragnar's best written book, filled with psychological horror and underlying rage. Hulda Hermannsdottir is a welcome addition to the selection of Icelandic crime fiction protagonists . . . It is almost impossible to put the book down until the last word has been read
Ragnar's best book yet
The threads lie in various places, the plot is well woven and the pieces in the puzzle come
together well in the end. The structure is good, the main characters are believable, the story flows
well, everyone is a suspect á la Agatha Christie and the solution unveils the mystery and leads the
readers to the truth. But not all the truth, as some things are better left hidden
Inventive and original, atmospheric and chilling . . . Fans of Christie's work will feel right at home; fans of Nordic Noir will similarly find the atmosphere right up their alley
Praise for Ragnar Jónasson
Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today
Praise forThe Darkness
It will get your pulse racing and keep you hooked to the last page
Magnificently dark and twisted! That ending - blimey!
Expertly plotted, with an ending that's a true shocker,The Darknessis the first book in a trilogy featuring this engaging investigator, which is good news
I've ONLY recently discovered the extraordinary Icelandic writer who addsseveral shades of darkness to Nordic noir . . .it builds to a deeply shocking climax
Superb. . . chilling . . . This is the first volume in Jonasson's Hidden Iceland trilogy, which tells Hulda's story in reverse chronological order and establishes her as one of the great tragic heroines of contemporary detective fiction
Crime fiction has never seen a character quite like Hulda Hermannsdóittir; nor a series launch so entirely willing to take risks and obliterate long-standing tropes . . . There is no doubt thatThe Darknesswill rank as one of the most popular and powerful reading experiences of the year.
