”Without disparagement of any of our crime authors, a new Thygesen crime from Jon Michelet is an event … The author’s irony filter works well. This time he has treated himself to an epilogue … it is possibly the most beautiful epilogues yours truly have read.”
Aftenposten
”Let us sincerely hope that Vilhelm Thygesen lives on … Jon Michelet sails on at full steam as an author.”
5/6 stars, Fredrikstad blad
”it is well-written, in part extremely well-written, and moreover, it has a believable plot. Still, it is the epilogue that sticks in your mind, as the most sensitive, most beautiful thing Michelet has ever written. Because the epilogue is in this case not the end, but the beginning of a love story. And it is filled with optimism and hope. In other words, there is no reason to retire an old crime hero.”
Dagbladet
”clever intrigue, and the book is filled with charm. An updated version of a classic crime story, with a touch of Cluedo, guided by a hero sporting a ponytail, a fringed jacket and a decaying manhood.”
VG
”Michelet paints loving pictures of people in crises, of people in the autumn of life. And he seizes the opportunity to put in finely tuned depictions of Norway anno 2008 … The Murder at Woldnes is a subtle little crime – a novel where the author, after the solving of the murder, presents a beautiful epilogue which sparkles in the last warming love-beams of late summer.”
Stavanger Aftenblad
”This is simply really good literature. The descriptions and characterisations are elegant. The dialogue is well-written and marked by a wonderful sense of presence. Recommended!”
Nationen
”Jon Michelet is a tremendously gifted storyteller – he is often at his very best when he writes about the well heeled people in the society. There is no doubt that the writer shares his hero’s amusement over and agreeable contempt for the troubles and imaginary joys of the inborn bourgeoisie and their challengers, the nouveau riches.”
