Críticas:

Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant. * Stylist * A gripping thriller with enough mystery and horror to keep you sitting on the edge of your seat while you try to work out what happened. -- Peter Robinson Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson have helped to make Scandinavian crime fiction a global phenomenon, but if you're looking for something a bit different try this Icelandic writer and her feisty lawyer heroine, Thora. * Mail on Sunday * Yrsa is one of the most exciting new voices in the crime thriller world. -- Peter James
