Scarred - Softcover

Críticas

Enger is one of the most unusual and intense talents in the field. (Barry Forshaw Independent)

Slick, compelling and taut, Pierced combines a sophisticated layering of mysteries with an intensely scarred hero embarked on a tragic quest. A dark and suspenseful blast of Nordic exposure. (Chris Ewan)

Superbly compelling ... the characters leap right off the page, and the relationship between them is as twisted and complex as the story itself. (Shotsmag)

The Killing took us by surprise, The Bridge was a good follow-up, but the political drama Borgen knocked spots of both. For readers who enjoy these Scandinavian imports, this novel is a treat . . . the dialogue is sharp and snappy and the characters seem to come alive in this sophisticated and suspenseful tale. (Jessica Mann Literary Review)
