Review:
"Fascinating and brilliant" (Literary Review)

"Ambitious, tricksy...creepy Highsmithian atmospherics" (Guardian)

"The Norwegian writer has attracted acclaim for her dark, moody Inspector Sejer novels. The darkness remains, but Broken breaks the formula" (The Times)

"Claustrophobic and intense. Descriptions - of weather, interiors, a truly terrifying interlude with a domestic cat worthy of Poe - are among the strongest features" (Independent)
Book Description:
'There is no room for debate: the most important writer of foreign crime fiction at work today is Karin Fossum' Rough Guide to Crime Fiction
