Critics Review
‘As noir as they get. Steeped in a rank air of cynicism and fear … Danusia Stock’s translation is terse and gripping … this complex and atmospheric thriller will find many fans’ Independent. * Independent *‘Krajewski has Mankell’s sharp eye for detail, but he has, too, a more sophisticated frame of reference that may intrigue fans of Umberto Eco and Boris Akunin … Death In Breslau is a stylish, intelligent and original addition to the canon’ Financial Times. * Financial Times *‘The city of Breslau is as much a character in this thriller as the parade of gothic loons that inhabit it … this addictive soup has an air of the burlesque about it’ Daily Telegraph. * Daily Telegraph *‘Wonderful’ Guardian. * Guardian *
