Reseñas de la Crítica

It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction

A world-class crime writer. One of the most astonishing plots of modern crime fiction. A triumphant conclusion to the trilogy [that] makes Iceland's pre-eminence in the crime genre even more marked

Is this the best crime writer in the world today? . . . He's truly a master of his genre

This is Icelandic noir of the highest order, with Jonasson's atmospheric sense of place, and his heroine's unerring humanity shining from every page

This is such a tense, gripping read

Triumphant . . . Other writers have explored the possibilities of telling a story in reverse; thus far only Ragnar Jonasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking

Jónasson takes us back to Hulda's origin story with a tale that combines his special talents for spinning a chilling and ingeniously constructed mystery and evoking the dramatic Icelandic environment

Triumphant conclusion. Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense (Ian Rankin)

Jonasson's is a unique voice in this genre. The beauty of this trilogy is that each book enraptures us almost to the point of forgetting the future we already know. Brilliantly effective

Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup
