SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 20 July 2008
'There is warmth in Theorin's narrative and the gradual piecing together of the story leads to an unexpected denouement.'

Marcel Berlins, THE TIMES, 26 July 08
'An impressive debut novel ...Theorin's excellence in conveying bleak atmosphere is matched by his insight into sensitive family relationships.'

The way it's told - a luxurious read,
By
This review is from: Echoes From The Dead (Paperback)
If you live life in the fast last then Johan Theorin is probably not your author - the lead character is an old retired man - Gerlof (pronounced "Yairloff")- and he expresses what I think encapsulates Theorin's luxurious style of story-telling: "I think it's best to tell stories at their own pace. Before, people always took their time over telling stories, but now everything has to be done so quickly" (P.214) - so if you want to take your time over a story then you will love this style of writing (then, I am retired also!)

Two mysteries in one book,
By Trisha Trove (Hampshire Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Echoes From The Dead (Paperback)
This book really grips from the very beginning.
It is about an old unsolved missing child case that is resurrected when the grandfather of the missing child receives a small sandal in the post. Thus begins a very addictive story which also embraces an intertwined mystery about the fate of a local character who could conceivably be responsible for abducting his young grandson. Definitely a five star read for this genre.

1st rate and will leave you guessing!,
By
This review is from: Echoes From The Dead (Paperback)
Another great scandinavian writer. Very descriptive of area and very good plot.
A boy goes missing and 20 years later his shoe turns up in the post! This is a very gripping read. Keeps leading you to think you have solved it and then you have to think again! I didn't figure it out until the very last moment. Would recommend this to anyone that likes crime or mystery novels. Will certainly be looking out for next book and getting people to read this.
