Reviews

Praise for Ragnar Jnasson * - *
The story never stops moving . . . reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock * Morgunbladid *
Jnasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today
Skilfully told on different time levels, and with an ending that promises more * Gteborgsposten, Sweden *
Is this the best crime writer in the world today * The Times *
A master of the Icelandic thriller * New York Post *
One of my favourite crime writers of the modern age. Much of Agatha Christie's magic can be found in Ragnar's excellent crime fiction booksif you get into them, you're in for a treat. Atmospheric, claustrophobic - you'll race through them. * Ryan Tubridy, presenter on Virgin Radio UK *
