Critics Review

Praise for The Boy in the Suitcase “Here’s something you don’t often see in Nordic noir fiction—a novel written by two women about the criminal mistreatment of women and children, compassionately told from a feminine perspective and featuring female characters you can believe in … The first collaborative effort of Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis, and it packs an almighty punch.” —The New York Times Book Review “Terrific … What’s for sure is that, once you start reading, you can’t stop—it’s as if the poor kid’s life depends on your getting to the end as fast as possible … Looks like another winning entry in the emotionally lacerating Scandinavian mystery sweepstakes.” —The Washington Post “This story packs plenty of emotional suspense and interpersonal friction without veering into melodrama. Kaaberbøl and Friis know when to reveal and when to pull back.” —Associated Press “A frightening and tautly told story of the lengths to which people will go for family and money.” —USA Today Praise for the Nina Borg Thrillers “One of the most distinctive characters in contemporary fiction.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “[Nina] joins the sisterhood of run-amok heroines like Homeland’s Carrie Mathison and Lisbeth Salander of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Nina doesn’t just have a bee in her bonnet—she has a whole hive.” —John Powers, NPR’s Fresh Air “Superb.” —The Globe and Mail
