Media Reviews
I not only enjoyed it but admired it, too. I also found it playing in my head for a long time afterwards, the effect on the reader every writer surely longs for -- Lesley McDowell Sunday Herald The seventh Inspector Sejer novel from Norway's leading female crime writer is, like its predecessors, a gem -- Laura Wilson Guardian This is a battle of wits, conducted with chilly intensity and an unsettling sense of menace -- Joan Smith Sunday Times Few match her ability to conjure an atmosphere of emotional as well as geographical desolation -- Marcel Berlins The Times Tautly told in a crisp translation of the Norwegian by Charlotte Barslund, the story is a riveting exploration of the consequences of crime, a whydunnit rather than the traditional whodunnit -- Declan Burke Irish Times
