Praise
Tangen has written a good, realistic story. He writes well, at the same time atmospheric and compelling, which makes me believe in the story. With these two books about Gabriel Fjell, it seems like Tangen has specialized in slightly sinister and important themes. That is great, more of this, please!
HverdagsnettPainfully thrilling, realistic and highly relevant. Tangen sheds light on domestic violence and psychological terror in close relations, describing the victims with great insight and no judgement, as well as drawing a clear picture of psychopaths/sociopaths and their characteristics. … And the plot – yes, I was entirely fooled and did not guess all the answers. Eagerly awaiting the next book of the series.
The criminal book worldIncredibly well-written. [...] Geir Tangen is nothing short of a brilliant crime writer.[...]Dog days stays thrilling until the very last page.
