"I not only enjoyed it but admired it, too. I also found it playing in my head for a long time afterwards, the effect on the reader every writer surely longs for" -- Lesley McDowell Sunday Herald "The seventh Inspector Sejer novel from Norway's leading female crime writer is, like its predecessors, a gem" -- Laura Wilson Guardian "This is a battle of wits, conducted with chilly intensity and an unsettling sense of menace" -- Joan Smith Sunday Times "Few match her ability to conjure an atmosphere of emotional as well as geographical desolation" -- Marcel Berlins The Times "Tautly told in a crisp translation of the Norwegian by Charlotte Barslund, the story is a riveting exploration of the consequences of crime, a whydunnit rather than the traditional whodunnit" -- Declan Burke Irish Times
