Reviews

• “A thrilling mixture of journalism and police work.”

• “He is the new Nesbø … smart, fast, tight and scary … a writer who has now found his form, and who knows how to exploit its potential.”

• “The Caveman is an intense and unnerving read right till the end, with a stylistically confident prose. The book is, quite simply, impossible to put down.”

• “Another home run from the police officer from Bamble. The Caveman is a novel that’s going to distinguish itself strongly on the book market.”

• “An expertly told story of loneliness and serial killings.”

• “A new victory for the extraordinarily competent Larvik author.”

• “A home run from beginning till end.”

• “A book you simply can’t put down.”

• “Horst has become an atoll of a craftsman when it comes to suspense, preserving the ‘whodunnit’-tension from start till finish.”

• “There’s nothing to complain about here in terms of suspense and drama. Jørn Lier Horst knows how to work a story to wake – and keep – the reader’s interest.”

• “Need I even say that with this book Jørn Lier Horst has outdone himself? A thriller that had me both enthralled and nailed to my seat.”

• “The Caveman fulfils all the expectations that The Hunting Dogs created /…/ When I reluctantly close the book, I can only say that it’s good – extremely good. I’m already longing for the next Wisting novel.”

• “Incredibly thrilling and well-written.”

• “Nail-biting suspense.”

• “The novel is a murderously effective page-turner /…/ if it, like its predecessor The Hunting Dogs, receives The Glass Key it would be a well-deserved win.”

• “Lier Horst is clearly a crime writer who is cut above the rest, both when it comes to building a plot, and in portraying what happens at the edges of society.”

• “Frighteningly suspenseful.”

• “Lier Horst is one of the most brilliantly understated crime novelists writing today.”

• “Up there with the best of the Nordic crime writers.”

• “If you haven’t already, introduce yourself to Norway’s Chief Inspector William Wisting – you’ll warm to him even though his patch can get pretty cold.”

• “Not a typical serial killer melodrama.”

• “May well be the breakthrough book in the UK for this most unusual crime writer.”

• “Fascinating concept /…/ where a criminal could take over and live the life of a marginalised member of society without being detected.”

• “It’s a thought-provoking book – and, as in the gripping climax, an exciting one, as the two investigations merge in a well-engineered and entirely unexpected way. Then, if you haven’t already, do go back and read The Hunting Dogs.”
