Reviews

• “With Tierra del Fuego, [Engman] shows that he can immediately reach the top of the Swedish thriller genre. He knows how to combine a particularly exciting story with a bizarre theme (…). It makes you tremble in your seat. In fact, Engman includes all the ingredients that lead to a successful Scandi thriller in Tierra del Fuego. The plot is dark and intense. /…/ [Tierra del Fuego] is exciting, well-written, and has two protagonists in Vanessa Frank and Nicolas Paredes that that reader wants to meet again – soon, please! Pascal Engman, a name to remember!”

• “Pascal Engman has a great ability to constantly boost the pace of the story. He nails the reader to the story so you cannot stop reading /…/ High international class!”

• “Great thriller with an elegantly braided story.”

• “Pascal Engman is already a writer to count on and he knows how to entertain an audience. /…/ It’s a clever build-up that quickly sucks the reader into the story and makes it impossible to let go. Fast turns between parallel events, a dialogue that drives the action forward, high pulse, short chapters and constant cliffhangers. Soon, 500 pages have been extinguished and you are as exhausted in the sofa as after a season of Homeland.”

• “Once you start reading [Tierra del Fuego] you will be stuck in the eye of the storm /…/ Try to take a step back to admire the design, architecture, the literary construction. /…/ So well executed. All the while, the pace is high and the drama is great. Character portraits are skillfully shaped, Engman has a great ability to quickly draw up sustainable and distinct characters. /…/ Even the environments, both in Stockholm and in Chile, are skillfully depicted and accomplished.”

• “Everything is high tempo, but Engman manages to depict the story from several points of view.”

• “I like the opening, sympathize with the sharp criticism of the dirty, illegal, organ trafficking, and Engman has a speed to his storytelling which beats a lot of Swedish crime writers today.”

• “A new page-turner.”
