But they soon realize they are not as alone as they thought. In this terrifying tale, three friends set to work renovating a rundown house in a remote, totally isolated location. You know that feeling when you’re loving a book so much, you just want to savor every single page? That was me with I REMEMBER YOU. I REMEMBER YOU is slow-burning, immersive, utterly chilling suspense-I was glued to this book from the first page to the last.

But as they settle in and begin their work, it becomes clear that something on the island doesn’t want them to stay.

In this hair-raising story of suspense, a group of friends set out to a remote Icelandic village in order to renovate a house they have recently purchased. I REMEMBER YOU is, in fact, better described as a ghost story than a crime novel, though at its heart it certainly has a compelling mystery for readers to unravel. A hallmark of Yrsa’s crime writing is her ability to blend strong mystery writing with truly dark, almost horror-inspired plotlines-and in I REMEMBER YOU, she puts her dark imagination on full display. Sigurdardottir is known as Iceland’s Queen of Crime, and every single book of hers that I read reinforces just how well-deserved this title really is. Yrsa Sigurdardottir is a just-plain-incredible talent. The Verdict: goosebump-inducing horror from Iceland’s Queen of Crime
