"Ingvi Þór Kormaksson's book, The Ninth Step, deals with murder, violence, and revenge, as well as the reality of life in Iceland and intertwining fates." Morgunblaðið, daily newspaper
"Exciting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat." Stundin magazine
"An exciting and well-told story that grabs a hold of the reader. The plot threads diverge widely and as the story progresses, it becomes clear that perhaps very little is what it seems." Edda Jóhannsdóttir, Journalist

I was intrigued by the title and the cover illustration.
As I began reading, my first impression was that I found the protagonist interesting. I liked the way he talked to the reader and was interested in whatever he had to tell me. As I carried on reading, I found that I identified with this protagonist in some ways - for example, his attitude towards books and reading. Aside from all of that, I thought this was a good suspenseful thriller.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.
