A tense and smartly constructed narrative

The story is exciting, the setting cleverly evoked, the translation excellent . . . Welcome to a new voice.

Icy landscapes, mysterious clues, a messed up heroine . . . Nordic noir at its delicious best

If this is a debut novel, then it is something of a literary sensation

One is tempted to call it a textbook on the modern crime novel. This is how it should be done

I’m Travelling Alone is a stunning debut. Think the debut of Stieg Larsson and how that reverberated for the next decade. The time has come again for such a debut and it is a beauty. This is the beginning of a major series and is truly awesome.

Crime addicts should look out for I'm Travelling Alone

An absolutely brilliant Norwegian crime novel that has everything you want in a good story. Believable and interesting characters. A truly thrilling mystery and plot

Excellent reviews and thousands of hooked readers. Welcome to the dark world of Inspector H. Munch and to an unforgettable crime novel

A dangerously good thriller

This thriller gets under your skin and won't let you go. One thing is very clear at the end: we want to read more about Holger Munch and Mia Krüger!

A very sophisticated and terrifying thriller, which keeps the reader guessing and gasping to the very last page. The story is powerful, the style is fluent, and the cast of characters is simply irresistible

Deliciously twisted, shot through with dark and acid humour and the denouement is truly chilling

A gradual descent from ordinary, straightforward murder to the very heart of darkness. Liz Nugent's characters are as unforgettably monstrous as they are believable ... superbly crafted

She keeps the reader on the edge of their seat from page one until the completely unexpected ending. I read Lying in Wait in one sitting. I just couldn't bear the suspense. I absolutely loved it

This book is a work of twisted genius. It is going to be HUGE. Watch out for Ali Land

Listen to the early praise for Ali Land's Good Me Bad Me because it's all true. It's dark, utterly gripping, brilliant

I read this book in one compulsive gulp over two days and absolutely loved it. It's raw, superbly controlled and it chills to the bone

You know from the first page you're in confident hands. A genuinely disturbing debut that will stay with you long after you turn the last page. Good Me Bad Me is going to be huge - and it deserves to be

The best crime debut I've read in ages. Creepy, edgy and addictively twisted. I loved it

Ali Land's Good Me Bad Me is an intensely compelling exploration of nature versus nurture wrapped up in a page-turning psychological thriller. Darkly disturbing and beautifully written. What more could any reader want?

Good Me Bad Me is an astonishing debut - technically sophisticated and emotionally heart wrenching. So many things are done well - the status jungle of girls school, the psychological dissonance of a dysfunctional family, the internal machinery of damaged children. I thought it was wonderful

One word: Wow. What a brilliant book - believable, shocking, thought-provoking and utterly compelling. The writing, as well as being so pacey, is beautiful. This feels such a current and original book

Good Me Bad Me is a compelling page-turner. Chilling and dark, it grips you and won't let go

Ten pages into Good Me Bad Me, I became an Ali Land fan. Her beautiful, intimate voice immediately tugged me into the heart and mind of a serial killer's daughter and then wouldn't let go. Is there hope for this teenager's new life outside of her mother's horror? Original, intense, and utterly compelling, Good Me Bad Me is not just a terrific thriller but a psychological dive into a young girl's soul. It takes subtlety and perfect balance to maintain a dark tale like this, and Land never once stutters or makes you look away

A triumph of tension. I doubt I'll ever sleep again
