A dark and gritty thriller, as a true Nordic Noir should be * Lilja Sigurardttir *
One of the most adroit of current practitioners of the Nordic Noir genre . . . After She's Gone is more proof that there is plenty of life in the Scandicrime genre * Barry Forshaw, Riveting Reviews *

Unsettling, menacing and compulsively written * Heat on The Ice Beneath Her *
Captivating . . . deftly ensure[s] reader's certainties stay on the very thin ice * Sunday Mirror on The Ice Beneath Her *
