First rate Nordic crime fiction.
The plot is cunningly constructed, the twists and bends are delivered with confident skill and the way they are bound up at the conclusion is very satisfying.
An enjoyable if slightly stogy prequal to the medieval crime series, the Crowner John mystery series.
The confident, assured writing captures the reader and they can happily slip into the story and have the wonderful pleasure of reading it.
K.C. Constantine has delivered a story with battered fallible heroes and self-centered villains whose greed is bottomless and spins the meaning of winning and loosing in a astonishing way. Gripping, thoughtful and razor sharp, this is first rate writing, a deep pleasure to read.
