The Last Exit (2021)
(Jen Lu Mystery, book 1)
Michael Kaufman
"Cobalt Blue is a highly accomplished debut that does not miss a beat. Characters, plot and style: it’s got it all. Fully recommended for all crime fiction aficionados."
The Historians (2020)
Cecilia Ekbäck
"The Historians is both haunting and beautifully written. It is one of those books that you simply do not want to end, despite the urgency in needing to know how it will conclude."
Dark Waters (2020)
(Monica Kennedy, book 2)
G R Halliday
"DARK WATERS is dark and disturbing from page one - in the best possible way. The plot is intricate and layered, and peppered with revelations that will keep you reading into the night."
Inborn (2019)
Thomas Enger
"Spine-chilling and utterly unputdownable. Thomas Enger has created a masterpiece of intrigue, fast-paced action and suspense that is destined to become Nordic Noir classic."
