Review
Praise for Camilla Lackberg: 'Mesmerising ... It's Lackberg's particular skill to have created two of the most fully rounded characters in contemporary crime fiction, with a warmth that cuts right through the Nordic chill' Independent 'Lackberg is an expert at mixing scenes of domestic cosiness with blood-curdling horror... a must for white-knuckle junkies' Guardian 'Lackberg is particularly good at portraying the claustrophobia of a small community in which everyone knows everyone else and the police may well be friends with killers' The Times 'Camilla Lackberg is probably the hottest female writer in Sweden at the moment... Lackberg's job is to make the reader pleasurably uncomfortable - one of her ironclad skills' Barry Forshaw, Independent 'Chilly, deceptive and lucid, just like the icy environment it describes' Literary Review 'Both chilling and thrilling' Sun 'Heart-stopping and heart-warming, The Ice Princess is a masterclass in Scandinavian crime writing' Val McDermid

I just finished reading The Drowning and was capitavated from the moment I started to read. This author never disappoints and you are always amazed at how the crime is solved. I have read all of Ms. Lackberg's books and my only complaint with this one is how it ended as now I have to wait until the spring of 2013 to see what happens to the two ladies. I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

This series never gets boring or repetitive. There is always a new creative plot that keeps you turning the pages.

Sorry, I don't have time for reviews, but I have always like Camilla Lackberg's books. I know southern Sweden quite well as I was born and partly raised in Denmark, so I can picture the people's surroundings.
