Reviews

• “A very captivating plot. /…/ it is indeed thrilling. ”

• “The Glass Man is a solid page-turner full of surprises and clever choices. It is also an entertaining novel with environments and characters that, despite a twisted setting, maintain contact with the ground. The almost 600 pages are devoured in no time, and the natural force that is Leo is bound to be back soon.”

• “It’s really wicked in places, true to the character of the series, and we get a lot of priceless scenes along the way, but the author is in full control, the tension never falls (…). This is entertainment at its absolute best. It’s not at all surprising that the new series was sold to twenty countries in no time. ”

• “The Glass Man continues de la Motte’s skill for threading multiple stories and points of view into a compelling read which might leave you needing to keep the lights on at night. The Leo Asker novels are creepy and fascinating, combining clever detective work with villains whose motives go far beyond the usual nefarious trappings into something monstrously sinister.”

• “De la Motte braids these two threads into a tightly plotted narrative that blurs the line between the rational and the uncanny. The novel excels at atmosphere — underground labs, crumbling observatories, secretive families — and at exploring the emotional wreckage Leo carries from childhood. Tense, strange and elegantly eerie, The Glass Man leaves readers questioning what lies just outside the reach of understanding.”

• “This follow-up’s nuanced, unflinching character development, transporting sense of place, and riveting suspense make this series a must-read for fans of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Alphabet series.”

• “Out of all autumn’s crime thrillers, this one leaves the strongest impression.”

• “He writes with such ease. (…) Mysterious and very exciting.”

• “(…) the story develops into a breathtaking action adventure with clear sci-fi vibes while also being a classic crime novel. /…/ The Glass Man is a reading experience set in imaginative environments and populated with the most wonderful characters.”

• “Anders de la Motte has skillfully put together a story that contains visits from outer space, mysterious flashes of light and the ambitions of a business leader, a story where all means are allowed. The tension is kept alive until the dramatic end when all loose ends are tied together and the truth about the Glass Man is revealed. ”

• “Anders de la Motte is skilled at creating intrigue with tension, finesse, inventiveness, and, not least, humor. It is always a real pleasure to read his books.”

• “A creepy opening kicks off the second book /…/ and the eeriness persists throughout the entire book. De la Motte is adept at creating eerie and fascinating perpetrators. ‘The Glass Man’ is even better than last year’s ‘The Mountain King,’ and it’s extremely difficult to put down.”

• “(…) resilient and consuming pages, tight between the elements of tension, and not a dull moment. This is an excellent sequel, where the surprises are delivered one after the other, and you cannot stop reading until the very last page is devoured.”
