"An intelligent, moving and gripping thriller about the ongoing consequences of wartime atrocities in Eastern Europe. One of the most gut-wrenching endings I've ever read. No average crime novel."
"Absolutely gripping from the start. This story of one of the most extraordinary escapes really brings home the compelling draw of remote mountains - and their danger"
"An excellent traditional crime story. It has all the expected elements: a remote setting, an unsolved crime in the past, an obvious suspect. These are put together into a really good, gripping story."
