About this listen

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?

Critic Reviews

Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson.
Yrsa is one of the most exciting new voices in the crime thriller world.
A tough and yet moving novel, lifted even further by its extraordinary originality of setting and theme.
Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.
