Reviews
The best Danish crime fiction in years. We are already looking forward to the next book in the series * Lars Kepler * Enough twists and turns for even the most fervent of thriller fans * Irish Times, on The Hanging * Delicately crafted, and supremely atmospheric * Daily Mail, on The Hanging * Serious, complex novel by a Danish brother and sister raises disturbing issues * The Times, on The Hanging * Terrific ... A rattle-paced, twisty thriller. I can't wait for the next in the series * Saga, on The Girl in the Ice * Spine-tingling * Tatler, on The Girl in the Ice *
