A fascinating story and the resolution of Mattildur's disappearance feels authentic and believable. Readers who like retribution in their crime novels may find Erlunder's balanced, free-from-judgemental approach difficult to comprehend, but to me this was one of the most appealing aspects of the novel. I couldn't think of a more perfect way to say goodbye to one of my favourite fictional characters Reading Matters One of the most brilliant crime writers of his generation Sunday Times As ever, Indridason's writing combines a keen sense of place with an astringent investigation of the human psyche Radio Times Arnaldur Indridason is one of the greats of modern crime fiction.
