Praise for Mari Jungstedt
The Inner Circle
“Jungstedt . . . is unusually skilled at constructing her intrigues. . . . Much like her female crime-writer colleagues abroad---for example, the Scottish author Val McDermid---she succeeds in combining a fascination with macabre acts of violent crime with a focus on relationship drama, and this is done without the boring politicization that has ruined so many other good ideas within Swedish crime literature. This novel supports the reputation of Mari Jungstedt as one of the most convincing authors of her generation.”---Svenska Dagbladet
"Murder, blood, perverse sects, confounded cops, and a passionate, complicated love affair---the author gives it all she’s got, and the result is both an entertaining and suspenseful fast-paced crime novel.”---Aftonbladet
Unspoken
“An engaging and twisty narrative that will fool even the most attentive reader.” ---Publishers Weekly
“Chilling. Jungstedt serves up crisp prose, steady suspense, and a roster of flesh-and-blood characters by turns conflicted and content.”---Booklist
Unseen
“Jungstedt fashions a solid, compellingly readable police procedural with a nicely rounded protagonist.”---Library Journal
"Jungstedt writes with skill and aplomb from multiple characters’ points of view.”---The Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A fine Scandinavian mystery debut . . . carefully constructed, atmospheric . . . with a compelling cast of characters . . . Perfect for fans of Henning Mankell.”---Mysterylovers.com
“Unseen has everything we have come to expect from a great Swedish crime novel---graceful prose, deft characterization, and a setting that is somehow both familiar and strange, like a kind of dream-world. But what makes this first novel unique is its author’s ability to write with a bird’s-eye view about horrible events while at the same time maintaining a poet’s sense of intimacy about what her characters think and feel. Possessing such gifts as these---scope and heart, a desire to get to the truth---makes Mari Jungstedt the new writer to watch.”---Daniel Judson, Shamus Award winner and author of The Darkest Place
