Media Reviews
Nesbo is a master storyteller, gripping the reader from the first page and ratcheting up the suspense in a thrilling finale with several satisfying twists. * Sunday Express *
Keeps the twists and shocks coming hard and fast * Metro *
A relentless and breakneck tale that keeps the reader hungrily turning the pages for more * Big Issue *
A gripping read... I got lost in this book and hours skipped by as the chapters got shorter, more tense and the pace quickened to an almost unbearable crescendo... A thoroughly satisfying read * Irish Independent *
With echoes of The Thomas Crown Affair, spectacular storytelling and a beautifully judged super-twist, it confirms Nesbo's place at the pinnacle of thriller writers and, inevitably, a film version will be with us next year. It's that good -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
