Aworld-classcrime writer. One of themost astonishing plots of modern crime fiction.Atriumphantconclusion to the trilogy [that]makes Iceland's pre-eminence in the crime genre even more marked
Is this the best crime writer in the world today? . . . He's truly a master of his genre
This is Icelandic noir of the highest order,with Jonasson'satmospheric sense of place, and his heroine'sunerring humanity shining from every page
This is such a tense, gripping read
Triumphant . . . Other writers have explored the possibilities of telling a story in reverse; thus far only Ragnar Jonasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking
Jónassontakes us back to Hulda's origin story with a tale that combines his special talents for spinning a chilling and ingeniously constructed mystery and evoking the dramatic Icelandic environment
Triumphant conclusion. Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense
Jonasson's is a unique voice in this genre.The beauty of this trilogy is thateach book enraptures usalmost to the point of forgetting the future we already know.Brilliantly effective
Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup
Fans of dark crime fiction that doesn't pull punches will be amply rewarded
Extraordinary . . . a triumph
Wrap up warmly for this invigorating Iceland-set slice of Nordic noir
Shades of Alfred Hitchcock . . . The author's deceptive plotting in this story is certain to blow readers away
Snow and ice provide the background to Ragnar Jónasson's latest exploration of trauma and hardship in Iceland. Throughout the novel, the characters' wilful refusal to face reality is both exasperating and credible
Ragnar Jónasson is a brilliant storyteller, who skilfully tells the story on multiple time levels, with different main characters and surprising twists. It is frighteningly believable, and exciting to the end
Standalone thriller from the author of the Hulda Trilogy lives up to expectations and offers psychological drama and a ghostly atmosphere at the world's end. A story that gets under your skin
Praise for Ragnar Jónasson
Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today
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!
Addsseveral shades of darkness to Nordic noir
One of the great tragic heroines of contemporary detective fiction
I often get asked about tips on good crime novels which "arenot like everything else". Well, here you have it. Read Ragnar Jónasson's trilogy from beginning to end,let the brain work, the body shake and be amazedat how the author also lets the language follow the development of the story . . .hats off
Ragnar Jonasson is old school . . . He deals in vertiginous, unputdownable stories that are nevertheless still imbued with melancholy and heartbreak. This is his best yet
[Jonasson's] chilling whodunits currently have readers firmly in their icy grip
Unforgettable
Will leave you breathless
