An intelligent, provocative whodunit with a killer twist (Ian Rankin)
Superb (100 Best Crime Novels since 1945, The Times)
Icelandic detective Hulda Hermannsdottir is the best tragic heroine our reviewer has read for years (The Times, Must Read List)
A superb thriller (Summer Reads, The Sunday Times)
A complex, fascinating mix of Icelandic community and alienation, atmospheric tension, and timely issues (immigrant exploitation and vigilante justice), Jonasson's latest series is another must-read for crime fans who follow the work of Arnaldur Indridason and Yrsa Sigurdardottir (Booklist)
I've ONLY recently discovered the extraordinary Icelandic writer who adds several shades of darkness to Nordic noir . . . it builds to a deeply shocking climax (Anthony Horowitz Daily Mail, Ten Thrillers to Die For)
If you have ever doubted the appropriateness of the phrase 'Nordic noir', The Darkness will dispel any hesitation . . . in what way this happens (and how badly) is the strength of the book. There are ever-darker surprises, culminating in a finish that leaves one with a highly disturbing image. (BOOK OF THE WEEK The Press)
The wait was worthwhile and The Darkness first in the new trilogy, is a very efficient piece of work. Jonasson has the full measure of the Nordic noir genre, and pushes all the requisite buttons (Barry Forshaw, Financial Times)
To read Ragnar Jonasson is to plunge into snowy Iceland . . . much of its atmosphere and subtle pacing to the traditional 'golden age' detective fiction as the mystery unfolds and builds to a startling climax, elegantly handled. (The Witness)
Superb . . . Chilling . . . and establishes her as a great tragic heroine of modern detective fiction (Joan Smith Crime Book of the Month, Sunday Times)

One of Ian Rankin's favourite books of the year - 'An intelligent, provocative whodunit with a killer twist'
____________
A body is found off the coast of Iceland.
A young Russian woman, Elena, hoped to find a fresh start.
Instead she found death.
A cursory police investigation calls it suicide.
Another statistic, she's soon forgotten . . .
But not by Reykjavik Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir.
Difficult and unconventional, Hulda is being forced into early retirement.
Offered one last cold case to investigate she chooses Elena's.
On discovering another woman has vanished, she believes a killer roams free.
Her colleagues, however, think she's out to cause trouble.
With days before she's stripped of her badge, can Hulda catch the killer alone?
____________
'The ending really took my breath away and that's hard for writers to do to me these days . . . It was a complete surprise and I should have seen it coming and I didn't. [Hulda] is a fantastic, complex 3D character and I want to see more of her, so hurray, this is the first of a three book series' Ian Rankin on Simon Mayo
'Superb . . . chilling . . . one of the greatest tragic heroines of contemporary detective fiction' Sunday Times
'Outstanding' Daily Mail
'The perfect territory for mystery [writers]' New York Times
'Expertly plotted, with an ending that's a true shocker' Guardian
'Magnificently dark and twisted and that ending - blimey!' C. J. Tudor, bestselling author of The Chalk Man
Pick of the Paperbacks, Sunday Times
'Outstanding series debut . . . builds to its stunning conclusion, one of the more remarkable in recent crime fiction' Publishers Weekly
'The Darkness melds an insightful character study with a solid plot for an outstanding novel' Washington Post
