Reviews

• “The Bomb Maker and his Woman is classic GW [Persson]. The dramaturgy is flawless /…/ It appears as if Persson has set out to prove that he’s man enough to write a crime novel featuring women in all the key roles. Here they’re everywhere: tough, determined, witty – and devilishly cool.”

• “Time and time again I chuckle drily to myself at Leif GW Persson’s characteristic, dispassionately mean turns of phrase. /…/ It’s a blessing to read an author with such a firm grasp of the Swedish language; it’s certainly a rarity within the crime genre.”

• “One of the best Swedish suspense titles of the year.”

• “Spine-chilling suspense and fascinating characters. /…/ The language and rhythm is confident, everything fits together, and the smallest detail is thought out and deliberate.”

• “The Bomb Maker and his Woman is classic GW Persson. It’s familiar yet on-trend, challenging and moreover tied to his universe and the events of previous books.”

• “What impresses is Persson’s ability to gradually incorporate the classic spy novel’s dizzying intrigues, mix-ups, and feeling of distrust towards everyone into Swedish police work without making it seem construed.”

• “It is masterfully done. Unruly, distinct and sarcastic”
