Reviews

• “[D]ark and resourceful.”

• “Thomas Enger is a journalist himself and one can tell he does thorough research. Particularly the investigative team come across as credible. /…/ We gain great sympathy for Henning Juul and root for him in the pursuit for the Truth. /…/ Pierced is a skilfully constructed crime novel where Enger portions out just enough information to keep the reader in breathless suspense. What makes the novel particularly worth reading is that it’s placed in a greater context, that we are just beginning to grasp. /…/ [It’s] not hard to sympathize with the seriously pressured and heavy-hearted [Henning Juul]. After the end of this book, the next book in the series feels very tempting!”

• “[It’s got] a fantastic drive.”

• “Enger’s greatest strength is that he accomplishes to maintain an even suspense level and forward drive throughout the entire story, it never fails.”

• “The 378 pages holds the reader in an iron grip that one cannot (and simply doesn’t feel like) escape. Great work!”

• “Henning Juul is definitely in the same family as (…) Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole: A traumatized and somewhat ragged knight one a horse that is no longer all white. But the Norwegian take on American West Coast-hardboiled has gained another noteworthy practitioner.”
