Reviews

"Fast-paced and involving.... Holt knows psychology as well as she knows the ins and outs of police-work. She quickly draws the reader into the minds and lives of half a dozen disparate characters--none more interesting than Inspector Wilhelmsen herself... Holt's visions of societal and ethical decay are balanced by glimpses of great poignancy, human consolation and love."--Tom Nolan ""Wall Street Journal" "
"A good old-fashioned mystery."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"
"Anne Holt is the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction."--Jo Nesbo
"Holt proves a masterful plotter. Unexpected twists hold up to scrutiny, loose ends are tied up and the finale leaves readers wanting more."--Cleveland Plain Dealer"
