• “Without a doubt the most bone-chilling, pitch black and intense Alexander Blix and Emma Ramm-crime novel to date, but at the same time the one with the greatest personal touch. This is the real deal signed two of Norway’s greatest crime writers, and a true reader’s experience that is rarely seen in Norwegian suspense. Victim is the fifth installment, and the most vibrant; the one that has left the greatest impression with me as a reader. It’s worthy of a Riverton-nomination, as the impressions here are abundant. /…/ The plot is tight and unbelievably good, we’re talking the hottest crime novel from Horst and Enger’s multi-year authorship. I sincerely hope this isn’t the last installment from duo Horst and Enger, as they keep surprising as a team.”

• “Tightly plotted and suspenseful. /…/ Most of all, there is a heat and passion in this novel that I haven’t felt before.”

• “An important aspects is that I, reading this author duo for the first time, acknowledge that I thoroughly come to like the characters. They come across as full-blooded figures, whilst the dialogue is also on point. The characters talk and think in credible ways. (…) The novel works in other ways as a crime novel, but also in terms of diving in at the series’ fifth installment. /…/ With Enger and Lier Horst, the sum of one plus one equals greater than two. /…/ Jørn Lier Horst and Thomas Enger have delivered an entertaining and well-written suspense novel.”

• “Horst’s intimate knowledge of murder investigations works brilliantly with Enger’s taste for the macabre, and the new novel is seamless. (…) this is a sensitive portrait of a troubled man combined with a psychologically chilling plot. ”
