Agatha Christie meets George Orwell in journalist Avdic's unsettling first novel ... Avdic not only constructs a fascinating and original plot but makes her imagined reality chillingly plausible. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * An Orwellian debut novel that never lets up . . . A heady mix of And Then There Were None and The Hunger Games [and] a supremely competitive struggle for survival. * Booklist * Suspenseful . . . Like a Swedish Hunger Games for adults . . . A very promising debut. * Skaraborgs Lans Tidning * Intriguing . . . Reminiscent of classic locked room mysteries by writers like Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and P. D. James. But its near-future setting and Orwellian setup make it feel almost chillingly forward-looking as well. * Bookreporter * Intriguing . . .
