Praise for Who Watcheth December 2016 Indie Next Pick "The ninth
Inspector Irene Huss investigation by this popular Swedish writer
is a solid 'people procedural': we get perception and empathy
towards victims, suspects, witnesses and police colleagues as Huss
investigates an elusive and particularly nasty serial killer in
Göteborg."
--The Sunday Times (UK), a December Pick
"When the author ratchets up the fear factor in her ninth Huss
novel, she does so to almost stealthy effect.That may not be what
some fans expect, but there are more sides to Nordic noir than
Dragon Tattoo."
--Chicago Tribune "Who Watcheth is a prime example of a particular
style of crime fiction that leads back through Sjöwall and Wahlöö
to Ed McBain, a style that insists upon the alternating mundane and
extraordinary qualities of everyday life."
--Los Angeles Review of Books "Who Watcheth is an engaging mystery
with a very likable heroine. With a writing style reminiscent of
Camilla Läckberg or Henning Mankell, Helene Tursten offers a
detective with a nuanced and compelling personal life, as well as a
dark and intriguing mystery. Who Watcheth offers lots of
suspense."
--Shelf Awareness "Tursten takes readers on a creepy, suspenseful
journey in Who Watcheth. The intriguing storyline is enhanced by
hair-raising details about the killer's mindset...Who Watcheth will
keep readers enthralled from start to finish with its convincing
characters and chilling plot."
--RT Book Reviews "Tursten's main character has much in common with
the detectives imagined by Denise Mina, Tana French, and Karin
Slaughter."
--Booklist "Powerful . . . The action builds to a genuinely
shocking denouement."
--Publishers Weekly "Helene Tursten's latest Irene Huss mystery is
even leaner and meaner than previous novels. Tursten does an
excellent job of ratcheting up the suspense in this very enjoyable
police procedural . . . an exciting tale that can make your skin
crawl."
--Kittling Books
"Thorough and detailed . . . Tursten's novels are definitely on a
par with the late Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series."
--New York Journal of Books Praise for the Irene Huss series "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 "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 "An absorbing, intelligent mystery that holds
its own alongside the best feminine hardboiled novels currently
being written."
--Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post Book World
"Truly satisfying."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Celebrate whenever more of Göteborg Inspector Irene Huss's police
adventures get translated from Swedish . . . They're rip-snorting
reads with a highly likable hero."
--Winnipeg Free Press
