MEDIA REVIEWS
'Jonasson plays fair with the reader - his clues are traditional and beautifully finessed - and he keeps you turning the pages. Snowblind is morally more equivocal than most traditional whodunnits,and it offers alluring glimpses of darker,and infinitely more threatening horizons'Independent 'A tiny,segregated town is a superb setting for a crime novel,and Jonasson exploits it well. He builds a layered mystery featuring a series of unhealthy secrets,and past crimes buried deep in the sheltered,almost claustrophobic recesses of family life,which Ari Thor will pay a high price for unravelling'Crime Thriller Journal 'Bitingly contemporary in setting and tone'Express 'A modern take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery,as twisty as any slalom...'Ian Rankin 'Ragnar Jonasson does claustrophobia beautifully'Ann Cleeves
