Trade ReviewPraise for the
Seasons series: * - *
Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why. * Literary Review *
One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer. * Guardian *
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. * Booklist Starred Review *
