Reviews for The Mist: Hidden Iceland Series, Book Three
It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction
The Times
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
Sunday Times
Is this the best crime writer in the world today? ... Read more. . . He's truly a master of his genre
The Times Online
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
Daily Mail
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
The Times
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
Sunday Times Crime Club
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
The Times Literary Supplement
Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup
Kirkus
Fans of dark crime fiction that doesn't pull punches will be amply rewarded
Publishers Weekly
Extraordinary . . . a triumph
Ian Rankin Wrap up warmly for this invigorating Iceland-set slice of Nordic noir
Financial Times
Shades of Alfred Hitchcock . . . The author's deceptive plotting in this story is certain to blow readers away
Dayton Daily News
Snow and ice provide the background to Ragnar Jónasson's latest exploration of trauma and hardship in Iceland. Throughout the novel, the characters' wilful refusal to face reality is both exasperating and credible
Literary Review
Ragnar Jónasson is a brilliant storyteller, who skilfully tells the story on multiple time levels, with different main characters and surprising twists. It is frighteningly believable, and exciting to the end
Dagens Nyheter, Sweden
Standalone thriller from the author of the Hulda Trilogy lives up to expectations and offers psychological drama and a ghostly atmosphere at the world's end. A story that gets under your skin
Göteborgs Posten, Sweden
Praise for Ragnar Jónasson
-
Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today Dark, chilling and utterly gripping, The Island is Nordic noir at its best, and is destined to become a classic of the genre. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the rest of the Hulda series!
Shari Lapena, bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
Adds several shades of darkness to Nordic noir
Anthony Horowitz
One of the great tragic heroines of contemporary detective fiction
Sunday Times
I often get asked about tips on good crime novels which "are not like everything else". Well, here you have it. Read Ragnar Jónasson's trilogy from beginning to end, let the brain work, the body shake and be amazed at how the author also lets the language follow the development of the story . . . hats off
GöteborgsPosten
