Autumn Killing (Malin Fors) - Tapa blanda

Praise for Mons Kallentoft's MALIN FORS series -- ... 'Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why.' -- Literary Review 'He has a completely unique style, an exquisite narrative that you drink in with pleasure ... I'm convinced: a crime novel doesn't get much more beautiful than this' -- Kristian Stadsbladet 'Don't bother with Stieg Larsson, Kallentoft is better' -- Magnus Utvik, Sweden's leading critic 'One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer' -- Guardian 'The highest suspense' -- Camilla Lackberg, international bestselling author of The Stonecutter 'The strengths of this complex and excellent novel include realistic dialogue, thorough characterisation and concern for social issues' -- New Zealand Listener 'It is Kallentoft's characterisation and distinctive, often poetic style which make his crime-writing more memorable than most ... It is compelling reading. The atmosphere of oppressive heat creates the sense of a hell on earth, where evil thrives. It is a powerful and disturbing vision.' -- Canberra Times 'Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold ... This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy ... This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness.' -- Booklist Starred Review
