“I’ve just done something I hardly ever do and read three
novels by the same author one after another – Karin Alvtegen, a Swedish
crime-fiction superstar. The books are ‘Missing’, ‘Betrayal’ and ‘Shame’
- all stunningly good, and so completely onn my wavelength that I felt as if
they’d been written especially for me. The psychological detail is
unbelievably astute. Often, translated novels have a woodenness of tone,
where the translator has succeeded in conveying the meaning but the flow of the
language has been lost and it sounds clunky, but these books transcend any such
dangers.” – author Sophie Hannah
