'well-written, pacey and wonderfully atmospheric' - Guardian
Yrsa Sigurdardottir works as a civil engineer in Reykjavik. Her books for children have won prizes and great acclaim. MY SOUL TO TAKE is her second adult novel.
The second book from Yrsa Sigurdardottir is funny as well as being a taut and accomplished novel - Independent, Books of the YearYrsa Sigurdardottir brilliantly conjures an atmosphere of creeping menace and unreality. - GuardianThis is well-written, pacey and wonderfully atmospheric, but the USP here is the character of Gudmundsdottir. Wry, very funny and valiantly trying to balance the demands of her private life with her work - she is a joy. I'm looking forward to number three. - GuardianSigurdardotittir delivers terrific clammy atmosphere and frequent frissons of fear; she is entitled to join the front rank of Nordic crime writers. - The TimesBoth frightening and funny - a terrific trick if you can pull it off. - ObserverDistinguished by superb evocations of extraordinary landscapes and . . . rivetingly gruesome inventiveness. - IndependentThe numerous twists and turns are worthy of Agatha Christie and keep the reader guessing until the very end. - Sunday TelegraphA suspenseful, sophisticated story - Sunday Telegraph
