Trade ReviewPraise 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.' *
