Critics Review

‘Reading like Saw would if it had been a book… macabre murder mystery.’ Shortlist.

‘The city of Breslau is as much a character in this thriller as the parade of gothic loons that inhabit it.’ Daily Telegraph. * Daily Telegraph *‘A stylish, intelligent and original addition to the canon.’ Financial Times. * Financial Times *‘As noir as they get. Steeped in a rank air of cynicism and fear … this complex and atmospheric thriller will find many fans’ Independent. * Independent *‘Reading like Saw would if it had been a book… macabre murder mystery.’ Shortlist. * Shortlist *‘Liable to live on in your dreams’ John Williams, Mail on Sunday. * Mail on Sunday *An outrageously believable police detective’ Peter Millar, The Times. * The Times *“Atmospheric and piquant period detail saturate the pages… Krajewski’s lacerating narrative performs the key function of the skilful novelist: providing an entrée into a world far from our own’ Barry Forshaw, The Times. * The Times *
