Reviews
Sigurdardottir delivers terrific clammy atmosphere and frequent frissons of fear; she is entitled to join the front rank of Nordic crime writers.
The second book from Yrsa Sigurdardottir is funny as well as being a taut and accomplished novel.
Yrsa Sigurdardottir brilliantly conjures an atmosphere of creeping menace and unreality.
The numerous twists and turns are worthy of Agatha Christie and keep the reader guessing until the very end.
