Reviews

A gripping, atmospheric novel and a first outing for Aske. More are promised I can't wait * Saga *
Wonderfully creepy This is a spectacular debut * Daily Mail *
I Will Miss You Tomorrow is a psychological drama and a noirish chiller with plenty of atmosphere and a setting that is bleak, empty, cold and unforgiving and perfect for the story A powerful and exhilarating novel -- Paul Burke * NB *
The Gothic elements in I Will Miss You Tomorrow are splendidly integrated into the crime plot, along with a strand of dark sardonic humour. Its a novel that is as much about loss and guilt as it is about the solving of a crime. At a stroke, Bakkeid has entered the upper echelons of Norwegian crime writing. -- Barry Forshaw * Norwegian Arts *
Its the blend of classic crime plot, unexpected horror and wittily told scenes that makes the book extraordinary. Stephen King has got himself a Norwegian crime heir * Ekstra Bladet, Italy *
A star has been born * Thriller Nord, Italy *
A thrilling story set in the harsh milieus of northern Norway * Dagens Nyheter, Sweden *
A truly great crime novel that far exceeds expectations * Femina, Denmark *
An extraordinary debut * Sondag, Denmark *
Accomplished and well-executed crime plotline ... There is something rare and tender about it ... Its a book about loss, love, shame, guilt and greed. And its a great one * Vildmedkrim, Denmark *
Riveting The dialogue between Aske and his former boss in particular sparkles * BOK, Norway *
