Reviews

• “Superbly compelling. /…/ The characters leap right off the page, and the relationship between them is as twisted and complex as the story itself.”

• “The Killing took us by surprise, The Bridge was a good follow-up, but the political drama Borgen knocked spots of both. For readers who enjoy these Scandinavian imports, this novel is a treat. /…/ The dialogue is sharp and snappy and the characters seem to come alive in this sophisticated and suspenseful tale.”

• “Enger is one of the most unusual and intense talents in the field.”

• “Scarred is a furiously great suspense novel. One of the kinds, where time just flies, as you’ll be as captivated from the first page until the last. A novel that will steal your night hours. /…/ Norway has given us many brilliant crime writers the last decade, and Thomas Enger places himself at the top of these. He has, like for example Jo Nesbø, an ability to portray people, so that you feel that you’ve personally gotten to know them throughout the course of the book.”

• “Scarred is a crime novel in the central Nordic tradition, that offers riddles, that are to be solved, and the possibility for social and psychological explorations in the raw and vulnerable situation that the crime suddenly and rather unexpectedly opens up for.”

• “The third novel from this rising star in Norwegian crime is yet again stylistically assured and thrilling.”

• “Thomas Enger’s best to date, and that’s quite an accomplishment.”

• “All good things comes in threes for Thomas Enger. /…/ We want more.”
