Hulda Hermannsdóttir #3
The final nail-biting installment in Ragnar Jonasson's critically-acclaimed Hidden Iceland series, The Mist, from the newest superstar on the Icelandic crime fiction scene.
1987. An isolated farm house in the east of Iceland.
The snowstorm should have shut everybody out. But it didn't.
The couple should never have let him in. But they did.
An unexpected guest, a liar, a killer. Not all will survive the night. And Detective Hulda will be haunted forever.
"[E]xceptional....Fans of dark crime fiction that doesn't pull punches will be amply rewarded." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"No one is who they seem to be in this fast-paced, character-rich thriller about murder and isolation during the brutal Icelandic winter. A series novel that works as a stand-alone, it will appeal to fans of Stieg Larsson, Deborah Crombie, and Michelle Sacks." - Library Journal (starred review)
"The third and final episode of Hidden Iceland…into which Jónasson weaves a haunting thread of parental loss and revenge." - Booklist
"The Mist confirms Ragnar Jónasson's masterly trilogy is a landmark in modern crime fiction." - The Times (UK)
"Ragnar Jónasson is a brilliant storyteller, who skillfully 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)
