A chilling crime novel from the Queen of Icelandic crime and author of the highly-acclaimed LAST RITUALS.

If I die before I wake . . .

A grisly murder is committed at a health resort situated in a recently renovated farmhouse, which turns out to be notorious for being haunted. Attorney Thora Gudmundsdottir is called upon by the owner of the resort – the prime suspect in the case – to represent him. Her investigations uncover some very disturbing occurrences at the farm decades earlier – things that have never before seen the light of day . . .

MY SOUL TO TAKE is a chilling, dark and witty crime novel, and a welcome return for Thora, the heroine of the highly-acclaimed LAST RITUALS.

Reviews

The Times
Sigurdardottir delivers terrific clammy atmosphere and frequent frissons of fear; she is entitled to join the front rank of Nordic crime writers.
Books of the Year, Independent
The second book from Yrsa Sigurdardottir is funny as well as being a taut and accomplished novel.
Guardian
Yrsa Sigurdardottir brilliantly conjures an atmosphere of creeping menace and unreality.
Sunday Telegraph
The numerous twists and turns are worthy of Agatha Christie and keep the reader guessing until the very end.
