It's nice to see that the women can be just as bloodthirsty as the men."" —The New York Times Book Review ""[Tursten] imbues this novel with a cold chill of dread that can't be attributed only to the subfreezing temperatures of Göteborg in winter."" —Chicago Sun Times ""Truly satisfying."" —Philadelphia Inquirer ""An engaging mystery with a very likable heroine.
