It’s very engaging, fresh and exciting. - James Patterson (on LAST RITUALS)She is entitled to join the front ranks of Nordic crime writers. - The TimesA fascinating setting and realistic characters make this an engrossing read - and Sigurdardottir maintains the intrigue as her clever plot unravels - MetroBrilliantly plotted and chilling - Daily MirrorAn absorbing mystery … Sigurdardottir makes the island under hot lava just as atmospherically chilling as she made Iceland’s dark winters in her two prior novels - The TimesAbout The Author
