The king of Icelandic crime fiction is not resting on his laurels,
as the valedictory Strange Shores proves... An elegiac but
compelling last bow

Be warned: if you've ever spent time with this marvellous Scandi
crime character, you'll be hard pressed to hold back a tear
*Metro*
One of the most brilliant crime writers of his generation

As ever, Indridason’s writing combines a keen sense of place with
an astringent investigation of the human psyche
*Radio Times*
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

Tragic and compelling
*Sunday Times*
Thoroughly absorbing
