Review Praise for Outside: "Jonasson and translator Victoria Cribb do a fine job of setting the scene, developing the characters and keeping readers in suspense with a tight, clean noir style, prose style. Somebody, Helena says prophetically, is going to end up dead before this trip is over." --Bruce DeSilva, The Chicago Tribune "An intense standalone...There is so much to like here: the complexity of the quartets relationships, Jónassons powerful, streamlined writing, and the parallels between an unforgiving setting and the characters seething grudges. Readers will be drawn into Jónassons forbidding Iceland landscape, where its anyones guess who will make it out alive." --Booklist (starred review) "... a classic ... I believe he has penned the Icelandic version of Quentin Tarantinos Reservoir Dogs." --Book Reporter "[An] excruciatingly slow-motion avalanche in which its obvious from the beginning that "somethings got to die before we finish this trip"; the only questions are who, how many, under what circumstances, and at whose hands....A shivery delight." --Kirkus Reviews"Jonasson plays his hand perfectly. A stellar story . . . Classic, classy whodunit."--The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star "This book has a quality and cleverly constructed plot...its entertaining, suspenseful and twisty." --Mystery Tribune"One of the best crime writers on the planet." --Mike Lupica, New York Times bestselling author "Brilliantly entertaining, captivating the reader from page one. Impossible to put down." --Frettabladid newspaper (Iceland) "Ragnar Jónasson is the Nordic author of the moment." --Vogue (Scandinavia)Praise for Ragnar Jónasson: Ragnar Jónasson hailed as one of "the heirs to the Agatha Christie crown" by The Daily Telegraph (UK). "In Jónassons books, the harsh and unforgiving Icelandic winter might as well be its own character...a perfect storm of danger and intrigue." --New York Post on The Girl Who Died "Is this the best crime writer in the world today? If youre looking for a mystery to get lost in during lockdown..." --The Times, UK on The Girl Who Died"A world-class crime writer...one of the most astonishing plots in modern crime fiction...The Mist is a triumphant conclusion to the trilogy and makes Icelands pre-eminence in the crime genre even more marked....Jónasson is up there with the best." --The Sunday Times, UK "Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me ... possibly the best Scandi writer working today." --Lee Child, internationally bestselling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers "Jónasson is a unique voice in this genre" --The Times Literary Supplement, UK "Few writers at work today conjure atmosphere with such power" --A.J. Finn "Ragnar does claustrophobia beautifully" --Ann Cleeves "Ragnar Jónasson is the Stephen King of Icelandic thrillers." --She Reads Review Quote Praise for Outside : "Jonasson and translator Victoria Cribb do a fine job of setting the scene, developing the characters and keeping readers in suspense with a tight, clean noir style, prose style.
