Another stellar read.  Twisted plot all the way through.  Even at the end when you think all is done.  Iceland’s finest

Nice handling of a timeless social issue which no matter how many times it is adressed, it'll always be relevant. The writing style left something to be desired yet the characters seemed multi-dimensional enough. Leaves you thinking.

Wow, was that twisty. I really can't get enough of Yrsa's stuff. With the exception of my earlier rant about the overuse of reckon this was another excellent thriller. Now stop bullying or you may find a green wig in your garden too.

Третя книга із серії про психологиню Фрейю та детектива Хульдара. Непоганий детектив, не найкращий звичайно, але читається легко. Єдине, що тяжко — ісландські імена то якесь збіговисько не читаємих літер.
І невеличкий мінус, це для мене – тут тільки почали розвиватися відносини між головними героями, А ДАЛІ ІСЛАНДСЬКА МОВА!!!
