Critics Review
Praise for Kallentoft’s MALIN FORS series – …
Kallentoft’s experiments with language have created a challenging, unique style. The victims’ thoughts, hopes and memories are a constant reminder of their fate, while short, often repetitive phrases increase the tension in a graphically, often sickeningly, violent exploration of “shameful, terrible, vile crimes” against women. The Fifth Season is atmospheric, disturbing and memorable. - Sydney Morning Herald
One of the best-realised female heroines I’ve read by a male writer. - GuardianKallentoft’s books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why. - Literary ReviewMeditative. Dark. Really, really cold … This is a worthy successor to Larsson’s Millenium trilogy. - Booklist Starred ReviewAbout The Author
