Praise for The Treacherous Net
"Excellent . . . incisive . . . The most affecting aspect
of this police procedural? Watching the detectives--several of whom
have daughters of their own--confront the realities behind what
made the victims so vulnerable, realities that cross class and
socioeconomic lines."
--The Boston Globe "The Treacherous Net is most accomplished in its
plot, with several threads exploring history, long-standing social
stigmas and the power of the Internet. This fast-paced, gritty
thriller offers both a dark story and a striking hero."
--Shelf Awareness "Tursten has come up with another
page-turner."
--Deadly Pleasures "Huss is nobody's fool, and she deftly maneuvers
her way toward center stage . . . If you like Scandinavian
mysteries, this will be right up your alley."
--Bruce Tierney, BookPage "If Swedish crime has a crowd of gloomy
detectives in one corner and a bunch of unlikely crimes in
picturesque settings in the other, Tursten plants her flag in the
middle: in a place where most of us live. Translator Marlaine
Delargy does justice to this author's straightforward prose
style."
--Scandinavian Crime Fiction "The Treacherous Net is an
entertaining read in a very strong and very highly recommended
series."
--Kittling Books "Go ahead and dig into this traditional police
crime novel."
--Kingdom Books
"Fans of the genre will not be disappointed by this latest Irene
Huss novel."
--New York Journal of Books "Nail-biting."
--Publishers Weekly "Goeteborg's Violent Crimes Unit never has a
nice day . . . DI Irene Huss remains appealingly unflappable under
pressure."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Fans of the big-name Scandinavian crime-fiction writers (Mankell,
Larsson, Nesbo) will be delighted to discover there are already
eight books in Tursten's intriguing series."
--Booklist
Praise for the Irene Huss series "As good as Louise Welsh's
similarly creepy tour of Glasgow."
--Entertainment Weekly "These days Scandinavian crime writers
are thick on the ground. It's nice to see that the women can be
just as bloodthirsty as the men."
--The New York Times Book Review "[Tursten] imbues this novel
with a cold chill of dread that can't be attributed only to the
subfreezing temperatures of Goeteborg in winter."
--Chicago Sun-Times "Truly satisfying."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer "The cast of characters is a
colorful array, each officer vividly and individually drawn . . .
Thoroughly engaging and convincingly unraveled."
--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Fans of Henning Mankell and Hakan Nesser will enjoy Tursten. For
readers new to the series, there is no need to start at the
beginning. Allow yourself time, this can be easily read in one
sitting."
--Library Journal, Starred
