Recensione

"Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold ... This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy ... This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness."  (Booklist (starred review))

"Don't bother with Stieg Larsson, Kallentoft is better." (Magnus Utvik, Sweden's leading critic)

"One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer."  (The Guardian)

"The highest suspense." (Camilla Lackberg, international bestselling author of The Ice Child)

"He has a completely unique style, an exquisite narrative that you drink in with pleasure ... I'm convinced: a crime novel doesn't get much more beautiful than this."  (Kristianstadsbladet)

"A gripping opening gambit ... Investigating inspector Malin Fors is a feisty single mother, whose flaws are intriguing and endearing ... The chillingly suspense-filled story works up to a truly stunning finale." (Easy Living)

"Sharp writing and original insights add spice." (Literary Review)

"This is a dark novel, full of awful people and desperate loneliness. Kallentoft is ruthless in his descriptions, but there is a great story here with solid police work leading Fors to the tale of the dead man in the tree. A must for the fans of Swedish crime novels." (The Globe and Mail)

"Most successful as an in-depth exploration of small-town life in a country which is theoretically democratic and egalitarian, but only on the surface." (Canberra Times)

" Kallentoft is gifted ... He has a knack for characterisation and describing the slow burn of police work." (The Age (Australia))
