”A beautiful goal by Michelet … Michelet writes simply and elegantly … a pleasant reunion with one of the central characters of Norwegian crime fiction … entertaining and suspenseful.”
Moss avis
“charming and entertaining”
Kulturspeilet
”As always, Michelet writes very well, and the book is full of fine and pertinent observations”
Dagbladet
”A reunion with Thygesen is always lovely”
Dagens Næringsliv
”Once again we may enjoy the author’s sober, precise prose, and I’ll be damned if he doesn’t offer us a bit of black poetry as well”
Aftenposten
”A highly readable crime novel … Michelet is master of the genre he knows so well; the mixture of dreadful murders and biting observations. When the pen moves with such an ease, this book makes for a good read”
Trønderavisa
”There is something blessedly plausible when it comes to Jon Michelet’s hero Vilhelm Thygesen … I find myself charmed by Jon Michelets view on the world and reality, whether it comes to football or politics”
Tønsbergs Blad
“So classic in its form that it almost bites its thumb at all the raw, brutal crime series in the world, screaming for the readers attention … Michelet is a fine, cunning author, who plays around with the classic detective story, and does what he can to ensure his readers a good read. Enveloped in wise political and everyday observations, this is pleasure crime with cigars and calvados”
