Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Chilling Icelandic crime from the internationally bestselling author of LAST RITUALS and ASHES TO DUST.
Recenzii
Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson.
Yrsa is one of the most exciting new voices in the crime thriller world.
A tough and yet moving novel, lifted even further by its extraordinary originality of setting and theme.
Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.
Yrsa Sigurdardottir is ensconced at or near the summit of Nordic crime writing, and the lawyer Thora Gudmundsdottir is an appealing heroine full of real-life problems. SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME is Sigurdardottir's most ambitious, deepest novel, less reliant on the Icelandic landscape, more concerned with damaged minds.
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 . . .
Stands comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world
'Superbly atmospheric'
'The twists and turns are as chilling as the weather . . . [a] pageturner'
