MEDIA REVIEWS
"The narrative slowly and surely exerts an inexorable grip; its multiple timeframes do not interrupt the unerring building of tension. And,as with the best of Scandinavian crime fiction,from Henning Mankell to Stieg Larsson,there is still room for an acute element of social commentary... you will find it to be among the most wide-ranging and forceful Scandinavian crime novels you have encountered."-The Financial Times
"Very likely to be the most disturbing book you'll read all year... there's a fantastic twist in store,very well executed,and a successful conclusion for the complex web of evil Sund weaves over the course of the novel."- The Observer
"The best crime novel of the year so far." -The Metro
"A compulsive page-turner." -Sunday Express
"Compelling... we are left gasping for breath." -The Daily Mail
