Selected Praise
“[Hulda Hermannsdóttir] is an excellent addition to the growing band of top-class woman detectives.”
“His best book yet, an unflinching thriller that braids the past and the present, good and evil, love and loss. I can’t wait for Hulda Hermannsdóttir’s next case.””
“[Ragnar Jónasson] demonstrates easy command of the police procedural format, and is well aware that he can take his time with the steady, methodical bringing together of key facts. Hulda Hermansdóttir is a striking character - both gloomy and tenacious - and she is a key reason for the success of this atmospheric novel”
