Critics Review
“Indridason’s austere, clear-cut prose coldly reveals ‘all the disruption the military occupation had brought to this sparsely populated island and its simple society.’ ” –New York Times on The Shadow Killer
“Indridason does a fine job evoking the place and time.” –Publishers Weekly on The Shadow Killer
“Indridason builds suspense through a steady progression of extensive interviews with his sleuths doggedly prodding witnesses with dark probing questions. The result is a haunting and foreboding mood that will attract fans of Nordic noir.” –Library Journal on The Shadow Killer
“Indridason’s voice, straightforward and tinged with sadness, works particularly well here, as he coaxes out tragic secrets and captures the occupation’s impact with intriguing period detail, particularly the social impact of Reykjavik’s emerging nightlife and the Icelandic Nationalist Party’s Nazi legacy.” –Booklist on The Shadow Killer
“Indridason fills the void that remains after you’ve read Stieg Larsson’s novels.” –USA Today
“A haunting and elegant novel … a writer of astonishing gravitas and talent.”–John Lescroart
“What’s Icelandic for “We have ourselves a winner?”–Newsday
“Mesmerizing.” –The Wall Street Journal
