'Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.' -- Stylist 'As with the other books in this series there is humour and warmth. Atmospheric, complex and compelling with an unexpected ending.' -- www.shotsmag.co.uk '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
