Praise for the Blix & Ramm series:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2018Everything about this crime novel sings, the relationship between Blix and Emma, which is complex, but also the relationship between Blix and Fosse and Kovic. The past bleeds into the present and the clever melding of the strands of the story and the slow reveal of details that propel the story is masterly. This tale often surprises or shifts in subtle ways that are pleasing and avoid clich\u00e9. As the opener for a new series this is a cracker, long live the marriage of Horst and Enger\u2019\u00a0New Books Magazine<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\u2018A fast-moving, punchy, serial killer investigative novel with a whammy of an ending. If this is the first in the Blix and Ramm series, then here\u2019s to many more!\u2019\u00a0LoveReading<\/b><\/p>\n
