Praise for the Inspector Huss series:
βAn absorbing, intelligent mystery that holds its own alongside the best feminine hardboiled novels.ββMaureen Corrigan, NPR, βFresh Airβ
βThese days Scandinavian crime writers are thick on the ground. Itβs nice to see that the women can be just as bloodthirsty as the men.ββ The New York Times Book Review
βAs good as Louise Welshβs similarly creepy tour of Glasgow.ββ*Entertainment Weekly
βA superior Scandinavian crime novelβ¦. Tursten does an outstanding job of offering multiple plausible murders, making this the rare procedural that actually requires the reader to evaluate alibis, motives, and means to solve the case.β β Publishers Weekly*, starred review
βThe Huss series was one of the earliest of the Swedish crime series to appear in English, thanks to SoHo, and the publisher deserves praise for continuing to translate Huss's novels. Night Rounds shares a supernatural aspect with another Swedish writer, Johan Theorin, but with a lighter and more urban flavor that is less spooky but more contemporary..." βInternational Noir Fiction
