Product Information

A terrifying ghost story from the queen of Icelandic crime writing.

Winner of Hid Islenska Glaepafelag Bloddropinn (Icelandic Crime League Blood Drop Award) 2011. Long-listed for Glasnyckeln (Glass Key Award) 2011.

A chilling ghost story ... the queen of Icelandic crime writing swerves into new territory with I REMEMBER YOU - a don't-read-it-in-the-dark ghost story ... Things get seriously scary. -- Marie Claire Yrsa Sigurdardottir's chillers get better and better. I REMEMBER YOU is a truly creepy combination of haunted house story and modern detection in Iceland. -- Sunday Telegraph ... A chiller-thriller of immense scariness ... Not to be read alone after dark. -- The Times Expertly woven together, with plenty of cliffhangers and perfect control of the macabre mood: intriguing, entertaining, and very spooky indeed. -- Laura Wilson, Guardian Genuinely bone-chilling, and proves that as well as being the queen of Icelandic crime fiction, Sigurdardottir is a supreme generator of fear ... (she) is clearly relishing the business of scaring our pants off. -- Independent Sigur?ard?ttir intertwines these plotlines brilliantly and the two creepy strands gradually tighten together to really give the reader the heebie-jeebies. The author comes from a crime and thriller background and you can tell: there are cliff-hangers at the end of almost every chapter and she expertly ramps up the feeling of dread as the plot accelerates and all in the book find themselves in mortal danger. -- Big Issue A chilling read, perfect for a dark night -- Daily Express A true rollercoaster of a chiller ... This is very different from the Nordic crime one might expect. The macabre sense and unusual crimes bring to mind Jo Nesbo, but this is something so much darker still. A horror with a whodunit sensibility, this is a must-buy for Hallowe'en and beyond. -- We Love This Book Some horror novels convey a creeping sense of dread, some a feeling of disgust, and others real fear. This one does all three, and does it with such conviction that it's hard to remember it's not real ... A fast-paced, stomach-churning ghost story that will rattle your cage. -- Press Association Not just another thriller - this is one of the most spooky reads you could wish for. -- The Book Bag Sigurdardottir indulges in plenty of bump-in-the-night scares and cliffhanger chapter endings. -- Metro It is everything it should be, compulsive, intriguing, scary, convoluted, twisting and eventually totally satisfying ... First class. -- The Bookseller Giving the Swedish thriller writers a run for their money, Iceland's Sigurdardottir has produced her best book yet. -- Mr Hyde Publishers and blurb writers are competing to hail the new monarch of Nordic crime fiction ... I would be tempted to offer a name not from the obvious crime soil of Sweden or Norway, but from bleak and moody Iceland ... -- Marcel Berlins, The Times Stands comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world. -- TLS on ASHES TO DUST Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson -- Daily Telegraph on ASHES TO DUST 'She is entitled to join the front ranks of Nordic crime writers.' -- The Times on ASHES TO DUST I can see why so many people are enthusiastic about Yrsa's work. It's very engaging, fresh and exciting. -- James Patterson on LAST RITUALS

Yrsa Sigurdardottir works as a civil engineer and lives in Reykjavik. She wrote prize-winning children's novels before writing LAST RITUALS, her first adult novel.
