Praise for Yrsa Sigurdardottir -
The undisputed Queen of Icelandic Noir
Nail-biting . . . Iceland's long dark nights are at their most minatory in Sigurdardottir's atmospheric thrillers
One of the best books I've read for a long time: dark, creepy and gripping from beginning to end
Sigurdardottir is as confident a writer as ever
