Critics Review
I was swept away by H
I was swept away by Håkan Nesser’s The Strangler’s Honeymoon which is as gruesome, tense and droll as its title. * Sunday Times Books of the Year *
A richly atmospheric addition to the series … Nesser contrives an impressive balance between a twisty thriller plotline and satisfying characters with believable quirks … his subtle touch when it comes to psychological insight and his confident storytelling make for an enthralling read. * Metro *
Nesser produces crime writing that is so rivetingly written that it makes most contemporary crime fare - Scandinavian or otherwise - seem rather thin gruel. Nesser’s tenacious copper, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is one of the most distinctive protagonists in the field (lauded by no less an authority than Colin Dexter: ‘destined for a place among the great European detectives’), and the baffling, labyrinthine cases he tackles have a rigour and logic all too rarely encountered. * Guardian *
