- Joan Smith, Sunday Times
A <b>cracking police procedural</b> set in a richly described isolated island community
Irish Independent
An <b>excellent</b> police procedural - she does detail brilliantly - but also really <b>thrilling</b>. I love books that send me somewhere completely new and I really enjoyed Doggerland. She captured it perfectly, and <b>held me there for the whole thing</b>
Jo Spain
Karen Eiken <b>reminds me a bit of Jane Tennison</b>: a strong, feminine and dedicated woman confronted by sexism within the police force while doing her job. At the same time striving not to be eaten up by the pressure of duties, struggling to quit smoking and not drinking too much. The island is a cool setting too, a bit Shetland-like . . . a good debut
Kjell Ola Dahl
A <b>suspenseful</b> and <b>intriguing</b> story that combines the best of British crime writing tradition with Nordic noir. Doggerland is <b>a unique and alluring universe </b>that I can't wait to revisit
Camilla Grebe
<i>Fatal Isles</i> has everything I want from nordic noir - a <b>spellbinding</b> plot, <b>atmospheric</b> setting and a wonderfully flawed protagonist. <b>I loved it</b>
Sarah Ward
<i>Fatal Isles</i> is an <b>impressive debut</b> combining an empathetic main character tormented by her past, with a detailed, complex police procedural. Adolfsson's main achievement, however, is Doggerland, a believable island nation where everyone knows everyone else and the mistrust of outsiders runs deep
