Description
Book SynopsisThe third novel in the internationally bestselling Malin Fors series of Swedish crime novels, the first of which, MIDWINTER SACRIFICE, was a Richard & Judy Bookclub selection. Perfect for fans of Scandinavian crime and the hit television series The Killing and The Bridge.
Trade ReviewMy current favourite among the Scandinavian crime writers is another Swede, Mons Kallentoft. So far, three of his Malin Fors books have been translated into English: Midwinter Sacrifice, Summertime Death and Autumn Killing. I loved them all, particularly for the way Kallentoft gives a voice to his victims. * Alex Gray *
Praise for Mons Kallentoft's MALIN FORS
series * . . . *
Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why. *
Literary Review *
He has a completely unique style, an exquisite narrative that you drink in with pleasure . . . I'm convinced: a crime novel doesn't get much more beautiful than this * Kristian Stadsbladet *
Don't bother with Stieg Larsson, Kallentoft is better * Magnus Utvik, Sweden's leading critic *
One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer *
Guardian *
The highest suspense * Camilla Lackberg, international bestselling author of
The Stonecutter *
The strengths of this complex and excellent novel include realistic dialogue, thorough characterisation and concern for social issues *
New Zealand Listener *
It is Kallentoft's characterisation and distinctive, often poetic style which make his crime-writing more memorable than most . . . It is compelling reading. The atmosphere of oppressive heat creates the sense of a hell on earth, where evil thrives. It is a powerful and disturbing vision. *
Canberra Times *
'Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold . . . This is a worthy successor to Larsson's
Millennium trilogy . . . This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness.' *
