Rezension zu „Midwinter Sacrifice “
'Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold ... This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy ... This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness.' -- Booklist Starred Review 'Don't bother with Stieg Larsson, Kallentoft is better' -- Magnus Utvik, Sweden's leading critic 'One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer' -- Guardian 'The highest suspense' -- Camilla Lackberg 'He has a completely unique style, an exquisite narrative that you drink in with pleasure ...

The chillingly suspense-filled story works up to a truly stunning finale.' -- Easy Living 'Sharp writing and original insights add spice' -- Literary Review 'Kallentoft is gifted ... He has a knack for characterisation and describing the slow burn of police work.' -- The Age (Australia) 'A cleverly crafted ... dark multilayered murder mystery' -- Courier Mail (Australia) 'Malin Fors is an intriguing and complex heroine ...

which is theoretically democratic and egalitarian, but only on the surface.' -- Canberra Times 20111130 'An all-round chilling read, and an interesting beginning to what will be a fascinating five-part series of crime fiction page turners featuring the policewoman.' -- Sunshine Coast Daily (Australia) 20111130 'The prose is spare and the dead man whispers to the detective which she seems to hear and transform into an unerring instinct for the truth.' -- South Coast Register 20111130 '[Kallentoft] is rightly praised for his skill at plotting, as well as his ability to create strongly-realised female protagonists ... The author's sequence featuring his wonderfully rounded female protagonist Malin Fors is rapidly acquiring a devoted following.' -- Good Book Guide 20111130
