'Heart-stopping and heart-warming, 'The Ice Princess is a masterclass in Scandinavian crime writing' Val McDermid
'Camilla Lackberg is a more than welcome addition to the growing ranks of Scandinavian crime writers translated into English. With its sharp emotional nuances and psychological insight, 'The Ice Princess builds in suspense as the author turns her clear eye on the buried secrets and contemporary relationships of a small, isolated community. I predict that Fjallbacka and its crimes and people will soon be as poplular here as they are in her native Sweden' Peter Robinson
'Another top-class Scandinavian crime writer reaches the British market' The Times
'A welcome new voice in crime fiction' Woman & Home
'Has a brooding quality redolent of its barren Swedish landscapes... intriguing and not a little disturbing' Irish Times
