About this title

Review:

"Excellent... Sigurdardóttir uses Iceland's past and present to full effect in this tale of hidden crimes and family secrets. Even those unfamiliar with this volcanic island nation will find themselves entranced." --Publishers Weekly (starred)

"Buried under all the volcanic ash, false trails and endless recriminations is a puzzle whose grim solution is worthy of Stieg Larsson." --Kirkus

"This darkly atmospheric psychological suspense is full of unusual characters, as well as numerous surprising twists and turns." --FreshFiction.com

"A fine mix of crime and vividly realized landscape." --Booklist

"Icelandic volcanic explosion provides a timely background... the chaos and panic caused by the 1973 eruption are vividly evoked in Yrsa Sigurdardóttir's novel." --The Independent (UK)

"A fascinating setting and realistic characters make this an engrossing read -- and Sigurdardóttir maintains the intrigue as her clever plot unravels." --Metro (UK)

"Brilliantly plotted and chilling." --The Daily Mirror (UK) on the Novels of Yrsa Sigurdardóttir
