Yrsa Sigurdardottir (author), Bernard Scudder (translator), Anna Yates (translator)Published: 29/04/2010
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.

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