Reminiscent of Ruth Rendell at her best

Alvtegen is a name to watch
Guardian
A compelling tale...full of false leads and bloody deeds
Sunday Herald
Alvtegen powerfully evokes Sibylla's sense of persecution and conveys what it means to live as an outsider, without ever compromising this compulsive thriller
Metro
A genuine hit . . . a brilliant novel
Gefle Dagblad
Sweden
A very powerful novel. Skilfully, very intimately and realistically, Alvtegen describes an individual living outside the margins
Helsingborgs Dagblad
A gripping, multi-faceted thriller. It is not only about brutal murder, but also about something more profound - an individual's road to awareness about her own life and value . . . Alvtegen is already amongst the top Swedish crime and thriller authors
