Chilling Icelandic crime from the internationally bestselling author of LAST RITUALS and ASHES TO DUST.
Yrsa Sigurdardottir works as a civil engineer and lives in Reykjavik. She wrote prize-winning children's novels before writing Last Rituals, her first adult novel.
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 TimesIceland's answer to Stieg Larsson. - Daily Telegraph on Ashes to DustPut simply, it's terrifying.
