Hypothermia

one of the most haunting crime novels you can expect to read: unsentimental, yet informed throughout by Indridason’s extraordinary empathy with human suffering

The Times

Hypothermia is one of the most haunting crime novels I've read in a long time, unsentimental yet informed by the author's extraordinary empathy with human suffering

Joan Smith, Sunday Times

A personal odyssey, suffused with a melancholy that, like the icy chill, seeps into the bones

Alastair Mabbott, Herald

An insightful human story, beautifully written and translated

Jessica Mann, Literary Review

An intelligent, gripping and moody tale with superior characterisation

Marcel Berlins, The Times

Arnaldur Indridason has built an international reputation with this series, and rightly so. Hypothermia is perhaps his best book yet, gracefully depicting the lengths to which people are driven by the need for answers. An outstanding novel

Joanna Hines, Guardian

Descriptions of Iceland's stunning crystalline landscape are lyrical and the overall storyline thoughtful and original

Carla McKay, Daily Mail

Indridason has a remarkable understanding of grief and its persistence... Indridason combines psychological acuteness with great stylistic economy and a pleasing pace

Jane Jakeman, Independent

Indridason's best novel so far

Books Quarterly

Our love affair with Scandinavian crime continues with the latest instalment of Indridason's award-winning Icelandic murder mystery series

Daily Express

The Icelandic master of crime Arnaldur Indridason is not yet as well known in this country as Sweden's Henning Mankell, but on this showing, it is only a matter of time...a wonderfully atmospheric tale

Sally Cousins, Sunday Telegraph

The narrative grips, the writing, excellently translated by Cribb, is resonant and lyrical, and the atmosphere is chillingly creepy

Laura Wilson, Guardian

This Icelandic novelist keeps on getting better

Sunday Times

This is a humane, unsentimental study of grief and guilt, which is both moving and unsettling. It's also a softly gripping narrative, without ever resorting to fight scenes, car chases or torture

Brandon Robshaw, Independent on Sunday
