Review:

The Japanese Stieg Larsson (The Times)

Intricate and beguiling...if you like riddles inside enigmas, it will please you no end. (Guardian on The Devotion of Suspect X)

The plot is taut and intriguing...this psychological driver sets it apart from more run-of-the-mill crime thrillers...Agatha Christie would be mightily impressed. (Financial Times on The Devotion of Suspect X)

Meticulous...a thriller hung on obsessional love and impeccable logic which drags you along with a teasing "how did he do it" logic...and the ending is a killer twist. (Metro on The Devotion of Suspect X)
