Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
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 A chilling read, enhanced by Sigurdardottir's taut plotting, realistic characters, and dry humour. Metro Crime Books of the Year Stands comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world TLS I can see why so many people are enthusiastic about Yrsa's work. 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 Times A fascinating setting and realistic characters make this an engrossing read - and Sigurdardottir maintains the intrigue as her clever plot unravels Metro Brilliantly plotted and chilling Daily Mirror An 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 Times Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson Daily Telegraph 'With its extraordinarily unexpected, but well-plotted, ending, ASHES TO DUST is a good entry in this consistently interesting and enjoyable series with its believable and amusing heroine. I look forward to seeing where THE DAY IS DARK takes us.' eurocrime.co.uk

Autor

Author of the bestselling Thora Gudmundsdottir crime series and several stand-alone thrillers, Yrsa Sigurdardottir was born in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1963 and works as a civil engineer. She made her crime fiction debut in 2005 with LAST RITUALS, the first instalment in the Thora Gudmundsdottir series, and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Her work stands 'comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world' according to the Times Literary Supplement. The second instalment in the Thora Gudmundsdottir series, MY SOUL TO TAKE, was shortlisted for the 2010 Shamus Award. In 2011 her stand-alone horror novel I REMEMBER YOU was awarded the Icelandic Crime Fiction Award and was nominated for The Glass Key, and has been made intoa film starring Jóhannes Haukur by ZikZak Filmworks. In 2015 THE SILENCE OF THE SEA won the Petrona Award for the year's best Scandinavian crime novel, and THE LEGACY, the first novel in the Freyja and Huldar series, was nominated for The Glass Key and won the Icelandic Crime Fiction Award. All of her books have been European bestsellers.
