Nerve-wracking dark suspense with a masterly resolution. Anders Roslund is a marvellously talented author.

A perfect example of Scandi noir

A complex, white-knuckle read

Anders Roslund is one of the best in the genre, always with an important agenda

One of the country's top suspense novelists.

[Roslund] is a brilliantly talented crime writer that has succeeded once again.

An extremely nerve-racking page-turner...Above all there is something about the language and character portrayals, something that feels stripped down and vulnerable, that makes this new novel completely unputdownable.

Sweet Dreams is unrelentingly thrilling...The combination of edge-of-the-seat thrills - and the occasional bit of explosive action - along with strong portrayals of both investigative police, next of kin and Grens and Hoffman, makes this a piece of crime poetry of the very darkest shades.

Devilishly thrilling. /.../ Anders Roslund's novel Sweet Dreams kept me awake far into the early hours in order to finish reading.

A riveting and well-written thriller about a difficult subject matter.

Anders Roslund has created a most thrilling tale.

"Dramatic, thrilling, and very disturbing...Yet another masterpiece by this brilliant star...the prose manages to be breathtakingly seductive and pulse triggering at the same time.

Pulse-raiser about nightmare case... Grens' own journey is nicely intertwined with the plot...Clever intrigue and twists.

A mystery for anyone who thinks they know all too well how mysteries are supposed to work

A homage to a golden age whodunnit, with a page-turner plot . . . Smart and funny

A really fresh take on classic crime

Claire is a mistress at weaving the reader into a web of domestic deceit

Twisty, exciting yet so very real

Jonasson is a master at two aspects of Icelandic noir: one is the description of his country's withering weather; the other is the handling of murderous plots that are tangled beyond all expectations. He's in top form in both specialties this time out

Jonasson is a master at exploring the impact of claustrophobia brought on by darkness and enclosed spaces. He an avid fan of Agatha Christie, and Outside is an adaptation, with an Icelandic twist, of the classic locked-door mystery

It takes a truly talented writer to work with a thin outline like that and turn it into a classic, and that is exactly what Jónasson has done here. I believe he has penned the Icelandic version of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs

From the winner of THE BEST CRIME NOVEL IN THE LAST 50 YEARS

Praise for Ragnar Jónasson

Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today

Triumphant . . . Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense

Dark, chilling and utterly gripping

Such a tense, gripping read

A world-class crime writer. One of the most astonishing plots of modern crime fiction.

A master of the Icelandic thriller.

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

Invigorating Iceland-set slice of Nordic Noir

Fiendishy clever

Triumphant conclusion to the trilogy. Only Ragnar Jónasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking

It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction

The red hot crime writer from the frozen north . . . One of the most important voices on the international crime scene

Ragnar Jonasson has a gift for crafting clever whodunnits while conveying the intimidating beauty of his native Iceland

Jónasson has the full measure of the Nordic noir genre, and pushes all the buttons

Expertly Plotted

I loved Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris, which achieves the astonishing feat of taking 17th-century events and people and telling their stories in 21st-century language without a single seam showing

Thrilling

This is a novel that asks big historical questions. You could read it as a pure thriller, and it is one of Harris's most compellingly paced to date. You could read it as a piece of intelligent historical immersion. I think it is more; I think it is his best novel since Fatherland.

It's a belter.

If only all historical thrillers could be this entertaining.

In this tense and beautifully written account of the ensuing manhunt, Harris brings sympathy to characters on either side of the civil war that divided a nation.

A brainy, compulsive page-turner.

A violent, gripping, globetrotting chase thriller

He’s my go-to person that I know will keep me entertained

[A] rich, propulsive novel
