- Barry Forshaw,
There is an icy dispassionate grip to Jungstedt's writing that recalls Henning Mankell
Metro
She is in total control of plot and pace, conveys chilling atmosphere and her characters are well above average for believability
The Times
Jungstedt delivers excellent clammy atmosphere and a constant premonition of weird deaths to come. She's becoming one of Scandinavia's best crime writers, no mean compliment in a crowded field
