Klappentext zu „Someone to Watch Over Me “
A creepy, compelling thriller, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME is the fifth Thora Gudmundsdottir novel from Yrsa, 'Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson' (Daily Telegraph).
A young man with Down's Syndrome has been convicted of burning down his care home and killing five people, but a fellow inmate at his secure psychiatric unit has hired Thora to prove Jakob is innocent.
If he didn't do it, who did? And how is the multiple murder connected to the death of Magga, killed in a hit and run on her way to babysit?

Rezension zu „Someone to Watch Over Me “
Yrsa Sigurdardottir is ensconced at or near the summit of Nordic crime writing, and the lawyer Thóra Gudmundsdottir is an appealing heroine full of real-life problems. Someone to Watch Over Me is Sigurdardottir's most ambitious, deepest novel, less reliant on the Icelandic landscape, more concerned with damaged minds.
