Outside

Reviews / Votes

Jonasson is a connoisseur of 'unrelenting darkness'; the atmosphere of paranoid claustrophobia [Jonasson] creates is so intense you can't help gripping the book as tightly as possible * The Times * Entertaining, suspenseful and twisty. Highly recommended for fans of Ragnar Jonasson and suspense thrillers in general * Mystery Tribune * Lord of the Flies for grown-ups * Times Radio * Chillingly terrifying, brilliantly entertaining, captivating the reader from page one. Impossible to put down * Frettabladid * The author describes the difficult conditions of the four main characters in such a brilliant way that in an instant the reader finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings which neither the reader nor the characters can control * Morgunbladid * A superb page-turner, Outside breathes fresh and unsettling life into the classic locked room mystery -- Kevin Wignall Raw with cold and rich in atmosphere, Outside is an Arctic Inspector Calls for a new generation -- Matt Wesolowski His best yet . . . Having read all of Jonasson's previous offerings. Outside confirms that here is an author at the top of his game, with complete command of his audience * On Magazine * A stunningly original take on the looked-room mystery, where fear of a treacherous snowstorm outside an isolated hut is matched by mistrust among the terrified occupants. Tense. Very tense -- Michael Ridpath Four friends find safety from a snowstorm in a remote Icelandic hut - or so they think. Jonasson's twisting, elegantly crafted story will keep you hooked till the very last page -- William Ryan
