ReviewsPraise for Someone to Watch Over Me "Iceland's Sigurdardottir is the reigning queen of mysteries, earning accolades worldwide and even an upcoming TV series. She deserves every bit of her praise. Her series about Reykjavik lawyer Thora Gudmundsdottir is one of the best out there: spunky but smart heroine, wonderfully exotic setting, great subplots about Iceland's financial collapse and intriguing mysteries that always manage to satisfyingly come together. Someone to Watch Over Me may be her best Thora book, seductively weaving together two seemingly disparate stories about a man with Down Syndrome accused of burning down his group home and the hit-and-run-death of a babysitter who now seems to be haunting her young charge." - Cleveland Plain Dealer (Grade: A) "Yrsa Sigurdardóttir is ensconced at or near the summit of Nordic crime writing." -The Times (UK) " Someone To Watch Over Me , just out, has already seen Yrsa Sigurdardóttir inevitably labeled 'Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson'" -The Independent (UK) "This is a dark and brilliant novel." -Sunday Times (UK) "Thriller of the week. This is a finely drawn portrait." -Mail (UK) "This is a tough but moving novel, with an unusual plot and characters." -Sunday Times (UK) "A skilled author ...
