First-class
Gisa Klönne is a first-class crime writer. She tells her stories with intelligence and skill. She researches thoroughly and creates atmosphere through her knowledge of the material. She allows her main characters to be rough and tender, showing them as living people with conflicts. Once again, Judith Krieger proves herself a detective with intuition and courage – and a woman with political convictions. This heroine still has plenty of potential for development. By the end of the book, you look forward to the next Judith Krieger novel.
◊ Radio Bremen
Convincing
Gisa Klönne has written a strong novel, with convincing characters, a logically developed plot, powerfully presented inner and outer conflicts. And the subject of trafficking women is sadly still very topical.
◊ Hamburger Abendblatt
Masterful
Detective Krieger is fighting a losing battle until she gets unexpected help from the pathologist, a magnificently drawn female character – as are all the characters masterfully making up the novel.
◊ .ch Die Zeitung der Schweiz
Bold
The author Gisa Klönne manages to make her characters – men and women – and their actions psychologically credible. Her sharp sights penetrate the grey zones of society, peeling off the layers of social anomalies not least through her refreshingly bold, clearly feminist approach – and delivering a social novel in the best sense.
