Reviews
”This is a skillfully written realistic novel about a dark part of our world, where women and immigrants without legal rights live in a constant state of terror, and where social media is means to exploit and murder. But, Sehlstedt also spices her story with glimpses of friendship, family bonds and love. Rating: 4/5.”

"Kicki Sehlstedt is skilled at tying together stories that initially seems to have nothing in common. /…/ [She] once again proves that she is among the top Swedish writers of contemporary suspense."
