Praise for this book
"I was gripped from the start of this brilliantly told story. And left wide-eyed with shock at the ending." - Fiona Barton
"Just finished TheDarkness ... oh WOW!" - Helen Callaghan
"The Darkness is a bullet train of a novel, at once blazingly contemporary and Agatha-Christie old-fashioned. With prose as pure and crisp as Reykjavik snowcrust, Ragnar Jónasson navigates the treacherous narrative with a veteran’s hand. I reached the end with adrenalized anticipation, the final twist hitting me in the face. I dare you not to be shocked." - Gregg Hurwitz
"The Darkness is Ragnar Jonasson at the top of his game - deft plotting, a great central character and a story as chilling as the Icelandic winter. I couldn't put it down." - William Ryan
"The Darkness is a true masterpiece of a crime novel, introducing an original protagonist, a plot full of twists and turns and an ending that leaves you gasping for air." - Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
"... magnificently dark and twisted! That ending." - C J Tudor
