Review Text
"A terrific crime novel that explores culpability, peer group pressure, betrayal and paranoia. Fossum’s prose style, translated by Charlotte Barslund, is crisp and clear, with not a word wasted."

Review quote
Few match her ability to conjure an atmosphere of emotional as well as geographical desolation -- Marcel Berlins * The Times * This is a battle of wits, conducted with chilly intensity and an unsettling sense of menace -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times * The seventh Inspector Sejer novel from Norway's leading female crime writer is, like its predecessors, a gem -- Laura Wilson * Guardian * 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 * A terrific crime novel that explores culpability, peer group pressure, betrayal and paranoia. Fossum's prose style, translated by Charlotte Barslund, is crisp and clear, with not a word wasted. * Reading Matters *
