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?

I have enjoyed the whole series with both good plots and likeable engaging characters with some humour , It’s at a gentler level than Nesbo but still very enjoyable. An excellent narrator

As the fifth book of the ‘Thora’ series we know what to expect from the wonderfully complex Icelandic noir. Never disappointed with the tale, translation and performance, though find the titles somewhat random.

Reliably good tale and performance.
