Industry Reviews
"Expertly plotted and structured...relentlessly paced...a compulsive page turner"
Independent on Sunday
"Nesbo wrings out the tension, by turns painful and delicious, with consummate skill. The surprises come like an avalanche as the end nears"
Sunday Express
"A first-class thriller...and the complex plot...contains several twists some of which will make you gasp and at least one of which will make you cry"
Evening Standard
"Jo Nesbo writes tightly plotted, claustrophobic thrillers with plenty of snow and a brutal yet hopelessly romantic policeman hero... They're also exuberantly, ingeniously gruesome"
Sunday Telegraph
