Praise for Ragnar Jonasson: "A classic crime story . . .first-rate and highly recommended." --Lee Child "A modern Icelandic take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery, as twisty as any slalom..." --Ian Rankin "Jonasson skillfully alternates points of view and shifts of time...The action builds to a shattering climax."-- Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred) "A chiller of a thriller whose style and pace are influence by Jonasson''s admiration for Agatha Christie. It''s good enough to share shelf space with the works of Yrsa Sigurdardottir and Arnaldur Indridason, Iceland''s crime novel royalty."-- The Washington Post "Jnasson''s whodunit puts a lively, sophisticated spin on the Agatha Christie model, taking it down intriguing dark alleys."-- Kirkus Reviews "In this debut novel, Jonasson has taken the locked-room mystery and transformed it into a dark tale of isolation and intrigue that will keep readers guessing until the final page."-- Library Journal Xpress "Jonasson spins an involving tale of small-town police work that vividly captures the snowy setting that so affects the rookie cop. Iceland noir at its moodiest"-- Booklist "If a Golden Age crime novel was to emerge from a literary deep freeze then you''d hope it would read like this." --Craig Robertson "Seductive ... an old-fashioned murder mystery with a strong central character and the fascinating background of a small Icelandic town cut off by snow. Ragnar does claustrophobia beautifully." --Ann Cleeves "Jonasson spins an involving tale of small town police work that vividly captures the snowy setting that so affects the rookie cop. Iceland noir at its moodiest."-- Booklist " Snowblind has the classic red herrings, plot twists and surprises that characterize the best of Christie''s work. Jonasson''s latest is nicely done and simply begs for a sequel."-- BookPage "As dazzling a novel as its title implies and the wonderful Ari Thr is a welcome addition to the pantheon of Scandinavian detectives. I can''t wait until the sequel!" --William Ryan "Ragnar Jnasson writes with a chilling, poetic beauty--a must-read addition to the growing canon of Iceland Noir." --Peter James "Snowblind was beautifully written, the landscape alone makes for good reading." -- Biblophile Book Club "Jonasson has produced a tense and convincing thriller; he is a welcome addition to the roster of Scandi authors, and I really look forward to his next offering." -- Mystery People "Snowblind is morally more equivocal than most traditional whodunnits, and it offers alluring glimpses of darker, and infinitely more threatening horizons." -- The Independent (UK) "Snowblind is a dark, claustrophobic read, and Jnasson evokes perfectly the 24-hour darkness, the biting cold, the relentless snow and fear of a killer on the loose in a village suddenly cut off by an avalanche. His crisp, bleak prose is an exemplary lesson in how to create atmosphere without producing over-inflated books that would cause their own avalanche if dropped." -- Crime Review "Ragnar Jonasson is a new name in the crime writing genre and I urge anyone who is a fan of Nordic crime noir to rush out and get yourself a copy of Snowblind this you will want to add to your collection. It is really that good." -- The Last Word-Book Review "The plot is built cleverly as there are only a few people who could have perpetrated the crimes and it all comes to a not obvious conclusion in this well written and engaging novel. I think it does make it more sinister as you never really know if he is safe walking around in the deep snow and perpetual dark. Who can he trust?" -- lacremedelacrime "If Arnaldur is the King and Yrsa the Queen of Icelandic crime fiction, then Ragnar is surely the Crown Prince ... more please!" -- EuroCrime, Praise for Ragnar Jonasson: "A classic crime story . . .first-rate and highly recommended." --Lee Child "A modern Icelandic take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery, as twisty as any slalom..." --Ian Rankin "Jonasson skillfully alternates points of view and shifts of time...The action builds to a shattering climax."-- Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred) "Jnasson's whodunit puts a lively, sophisticated spin on the Agatha Christie model, taking it down intriguing dark alleys."-- Kirkus Reviews "In this debut novel, Jonasson has taken the locked-room mystery and transformed it into a dark tale of isolation and intrigue that will keep readers guessing until the final page."-- Library Journal Xpress "Jonasson spins an involving tale of small-town police work that vividly captures the snowy setting that so affects the rookie cop.
