Reviews

OPEN

"A very well-written and thrilling story".

Göteborgsposten

"What a fantastic debut! Her thriller debut lives up to high expectations for suspense, speed and astounding surprises. This story about an ordinary man's confrontation with evil and guilt is brilliant"

Månadens Bok

"The nightmare is of such dimensions that every thriller-lover feels at home".

Bokia-Magasin

"A gripping and thrilling story about friendship and deceit. The end is surprising and intelligent".

Värmlands Tidning

"Lovely! Debt has most of what one may wish for - an unpredictable intrigue, incessant new turns, as well as a hero with a broken-down spiritual life, a failed career and nothing to lose. It is wellwritten and entices you to use the line: - I'm just going to read for a few more minutes".

Amelia

"...a book you will want to read without stopping".
