Summary

Berglind hurried to her son and pulled him forcefully from the window. She held him close and tried at the same time to wipe the windowpane. But the haze couldn’t be wiped away. It was on the outside of the glass.

‘Magga’s outside. She can’t get in. She wants to look after me.’ He pointed at the window and frowned. ‘She’s a little bit angry.’

Yrsa Sigurdardottir is ensconced at or near the summit of Nordic crime writing, and the lawyer Thora Gudmundsdottir is an appealing heroine full of real-life problems. Someone to Watch Over Me is Sigurdardottir’s most ambitious, deepest novel, less reliant on the Icelandic landscape, more concerned with damaged minds. - The Times

Iceland’s answer to Stieg Larsson. - Daily Telegraph on Ashes to Dust

Put simply, it’s terrifying. And brilliant. - Stylist on The Day is Dark

Stands comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world. - TLS on Ashes to Dust

Superbly atmospheric. - Heat on The Day is Dark

The twists and turns are as chilling as the weather … [a] pageturner. - Bella on The Day is Dark
