Reviews

Egholm is a better storyteller than most other female crime writers ... It's thrilling and brutal. - Ekstra Bladet

Add to this the supple language and the evocative descriptions of beauty as well as ugliness on Djursland, and the result is a highly recommended, bleak and captivating crime novel. - Information

Both plot and characters go full throttle ... How it all connects is both surprising and imaginative. - Politiken

The story is captivating and well told. The book has some cleverly turned twists in a focused narrative where the expected truths emerge during the dramatical final stand-off. - metroXpress
