Already an international bestseller, this fourth book to feature Thora Gudmundsdottir ('a delight' - Guardian) is chilling, unsettling and compulsively readable.

This Nordic mystery proves colder, bleaker and more introspective than most: Scandi-noir extreme. - i Magazine, Independent

Publishers and blurb writers are competing to hail the new monarch of Nordic crime fiction . . . I would be tempted to offer a name not from the obvious crime soil of Sweden or Norway, but from bleak and moody Iceland . . . - Marcel Berlins, The Times

Superbly atmospheric - Heat

The twists and turns are as chilling as the weather . . . [a] pageturner - Bella

It's another complex case for Thora, liveliest granny on the floes, and deeply satisfying for the warm-toed reader. - Independent

If you are looking for something a bit different try this Icelandic writer and her feisty lawyer heroine, Thora. - Mail on Sunday
