Synopsis

The crunching noise had resumed, now accompanied by a disgusting, indefinable smell. It could best be described as a blend of kelp and rotten meat. The voice spoke again, now slightly louder and clearer:
Don’t go. Don’t go yet. I’m not finished.

In an isolated village in the Icelandic Westfjords, three friends set to work renovating a derelict house. But soon they realise they are not alone there – something wants them to leave, and it’s making its presence felt.

Meanwhile, in a town across the fjord, a young doctor investigating the suicide of an elderly woman discovers that she was obsessed with his vanished son.

When the two stories collide the terrifying truth is uncovered …

A terrifying ghost story from the ‘Queen of Icelandic crime’, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, author of the Thóra Guðmundsdóttir novels.

Reviews

‘A chiller-thriller of immense scariness … Not to be read alone after dark.’ The Times

‘Yrsa Sigurdardottir’s chillers get better and better. I Remember You is a truly creepy combination of haunted house story and modern detection in Iceland.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘Genuinely bone-chilling, and proves that as well as being the queen of Iceland crime fiction, Sigurðardóttir is a supreme generator of fear.’ Independent

‘A chilling read, perfect for a dark night.’ Daily Express
