Until Thy Wrath Be Past

Reviews

"Among the current batch of Nordic writers, the new Larsson is one to be followed with the most minute attention."—Barry Forshaw, Independent "Critics used to be able to dismiss crime fiction with a few condescending remarks about language and psychology. Soon they won't be able to do that anymore. Asa Larsson's book, for example, stands firmly on the three most important tenets: style, human understanding, and plot."—Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden) "Stunning... As doom-filled as Larsson's leitmotif of ravens (in old Scandinavia the messengers of Odin, god of poetry and berserker fury), this remarkable tale of twisted love and vengeance and redemptive nonjudgmental devotion resounds, like its epigraph from the Book of Job, with all the pain of human existence."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Larsson's best book so far. The supernatural elements are worked seamlessly into a complex and engaging mystery, resulting in a thoroughly compelling reading experience."—Booklist, Starred Review "Larsson's laid back style makes her unflinching probing of the icy depths of the human heart all the more chilling."—Jake Kerridge, Telegraph "Language that is by turn simple and clear, and by turn poetically brilliant."—Norrlandska Socialdemokraten (Sweden) Expand reviews
