Media Reviews
Sissel-Jo Gazan has demonstrated that her acclaimed mystery, The Dinosaur Feather was no fluke . . . The author has an uncanny knack for quickly drawing a reader into the minds of her characters . . . The domestic intrigues of Marie and her relatives, and of Soren and Anna, prove as engrossing as the criminal conspiracies at hand. * Wall Street Journal *
The Dinosaur Feather, Sissel-Jo Gazan's acclaimed debut, proved that scientific controversy could feature in crime fiction... This is a terrific novel, involving bitter rivalries among scientists. * Sunday Times *
