Reviews

Imagine mixing in a blender Tom Clancy with the movie Predator and the X-Files . . . non-stop action

—— Library Journal

A mix of James Rollins action-heavy adventure, the military gadgetry of Tom Clancy, and the pacing of 24

—— Booklist

Spectacularly cinematic . . . a flat out adrenalin rush

—— New York Times bestselling authors Judith and Garfield Reeves Stevens

A tightly woven tale in spare but piercing prose

—— Metro

Moving and thought-provoking

—— Doug Johnstone , Big Issue

Karin Fossum's minimalist police procedurals... have a stealthy way of mutating into richer, if also darker, psychological studies of criminals and their victims... In the end, the novel isn't about willful murder or even accidental death, but the psychological aftershocks for the living

—— New York Times Book Review

Reading a Karin Fossum novel is always a wonderful, almost meditative, experience. Even though she writes about horrible crimes, her compassion and intelligence shine through, and by the time you reach the final page you’re left feeling irrevocably changed - for the better. Her latest, The Drowned Boy, is right up there among her best

—— Reading Matters

Fossum shows us how the crime novel can be more than sheer entertainment… Well-written and gripping

—— Dagbladet

Karin Fossum is among our foremost authors, regardless of genre. This because of her unique ability to create real people and her deep understanding of the human soul. She has always mastered this, but never better than in The Drowned Boy

—— Drammens Tidende

Among Fossum’s finest novels…a strong literary quality and quivering suspense

—— Dagsavisen

Agatha Christie meets Rear Window...a taut psychological thriller that's chockful of chilling twists.

—— The Sun

Claustrophobic, compulsive and gripping

—— Daily Express

Intriguing ... presents enough believable suspects and motives to keep the reader gripped

—— The Herald

What She Left leads the reader down a dark and twisty path of suspense and intrigue. This gripping and stylishly written novel left me chilled to the bone and captivated me from beginning to end

—— Heather Gudenkauf, author of The Weight of Silence

WHAT SHE LEFT is bold and inventive storytelling. The reader becomes the investigator, sorting through diary entries, letters, tweets, and emails to discover the truth beneath the tales of an entire cast of potentially unreliable narrators. This is not only a clever thriller, but an insightful exploration of identity and the personae we create in the social-media era

—— Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex

A faultlessly constructed, page-turning debut, Disclaimer delivers its twists and surprises with ease. It is both clever and moving, and I'm full of admiration.

It's Disclaimer that turns out to be the Gone Girl of the season

An ingenious and involving tale and a very successful first novel

Disclaimer is a real one-nighter

—— Tweet from Polly Samson

It's knockout

—— Tweet from Claudia Winkleman

The marvel of the new suspense novel “Disclaimer” is that it lives up to its unusually gripping premise.
Disclaimer forms a trinity alongside “Gone Girl” and the “The Girl on the Train” as the best of domestic noir. That this is a first novel from Renee Knight, a British television screenwriter, makes her sure hand with what’s sinister that much more stunning.

—— New York Daily News

A sensational psychological thriller

—— Jackie Collins

excellent debut

—— KATE MOSSE, Guardian

This bestseller is definitely one of the best thrillers of 2015.

More original and sophisticated than your average psychological thriller, Renée Knight's DISCLAIMER is an accomplished and addictive tale.
