Book Summary and Reviews of The Mist by Ragnar Jonasson

Media Reviews

"[E]xceptional....Fans of dark crime fiction that doesn't pull punches will be amply rewarded." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"No one is who they seem to be in this fast-paced, character-rich thriller about murder and isolation during the brutal Icelandic winter. A series novel that works as a stand-alone, it will appeal to fans of Stieg Larsson, Deborah Crombie, and Michelle Sacks." - Library Journal (starred review)

"The third and final episode of Hidden Iceland…into which Jónasson weaves a haunting thread of parental loss and revenge." - Booklist

"The Mist confirms Ragnar Jónasson's masterly trilogy is a landmark in modern crime fiction." - The Times (UK)

"Ragnar Jónasson is a brilliant storyteller, who skillfully tells the story on multiple time levels, with different main characters and surprising twists. It is frighteningly believable, and exciting to the end." - Dagens Nyheter (Sweden)
