Reviews
Hildur Rúnarsdóttir, a police detective who surfs the icy waters of Iceland, barrels into the genre like a tsunami. This book must be read in one sitting.Max Seeck, NYT and Der Spiegel bestselling author
In addition to the fine and moody description of the milieu, the plotting of the novel is cleverly woven, and the characters in their everyday life are believable. Rämö plans to continue Hildur's story, and if she does it as well as in this, her debut novel, she may become a significant new name in Nordic crime fiction.Helsingin Sanomat
Atmospheric and startlingly original ... Rämö brings an outsider's eye to a novel steeped in Icelandic history, and the effect is mesmerisingSunday Times
