Critics Review

“I always eagerly await a new novel from Karin Fossum.” – Ruth Rendell

Fossum is admired by Ruth Rendell and you can see why’ * Daily Mail *
A contemporary Patricia Highsmith, her offbeat obsession with the psychology of the criminal mind, and the human cost of criminal activity, pays off handsomely yet again * Irish Times *
It is a sign of Fossum’s sophistication that the reader comes to empathise with the teenaged tormentor - a deliberate ploy which makes the double-twist ending all the more shocking * Sunday Telegraph *
Fossum’s Norway is an apposite setting for a long dark night of the soul * Independent *
With a focus on characters and the impacts of crime, Fossum’s psychological thrillers will appeal, in particular, to fans of Anne Holt and Henning Mankell * Booklist *
A truly great writer – Jo Nesbo
I always eagerly await a new novel from Karin Fossum * Ruth Rendell *
Suspenseful, penetrating, clever and thoroughly enjoyable * scandinavianbooks.com *
