Reviews
'Among the current batch of Nordic writers, the new Larsson is one to be followed with the most minute attention' Barry Forshaw, Independent.
'what lingers in the mind is Larsson's careful and sympathetic investigation of Rebecka's inner demons' Mail on Sunday.
'A superior example of Scandinavian noir' Julia Handford, Sunday Telegraph.
'Larsson's laid back style makes her unflinching probing of the icy depths of the human heart all the more chilling' Jake Kerridge, Telegraph.
Åsa Larsson's genius is in telling the story from multiple viewpoints, so cleverly that you can't see the dots connecting until they hit you right in the face at the end
