Welcome to Litsy!

The Mist is the first Ragnar Jonasson book I‘ve read, and it did not disappoint. This Icelandic-Noir has everything you want from a crime novel: clever plotting and narrative construction, propulsive storytelling, a layered mystery, complex characters and an atmospheric setting. I found this hard to put down and inhaled it in a day. Can‘t wait to read more from this author.
