With a focus on characters and the impacts of crime, Fossum's psychological thrillers will appeal, in particular, to fans of Anne Holt and Henning Mankell * Booklist * Fossum's Norway is an apposite setting for a long dark night of the soul * Independent * It is a sign of Fossum's sophistication that the reader comes to empathise with the teenaged tormentor - a deliberate ploy which makes the double-twist ending all the more shocking * Sunday Telegraph * A contemporary Patricia Highsmith, her offbeat obsession with the psychology of the criminal mind, and the human cost of criminal activity, pays off handsomely yet again * Irish Times * Fossum is admired by Ruth Rendell and you can see why' * Daily Mail *
