A “goofy” Scandinavian thriller?
“So you see what we have here. There’s no reason to make the doctor be a dwarf or to send snuff dribbling down Geir’s chin. It’s just for the fun of it. Scandinavian thrillers are all the rage now, starting, I guess, with Smilla’s Sense of Snow. It must be spooky in Scandinavia, but Holt, Norway’s best-selling female crime writer and a former minister of justice, has a goofy streak that changes the tone of this beguiling book….I loved this snowbound book.”
We’re so happy that Carolyn See loved this. Think Agatha Christie for the 21st century.
