Reviews

• “This is the kind of book that has the reader in a tight grip from the very first page. ”

• “[Ulf Kvensler] knows exactly what to do to catch the reader’s attention and how to keep it until the very last page. /…/ Fast pace, clever dialogue, clues and misleadings. While the characters are trying to stay alive, the reader is on a quest for the truth; one can sense the direction, but Kvensler also manages confound. Can he write a novel? Yes. Is the book bound to be made into a movie? You bet!”

• “With precise prose, skillful shifts between past and present, a well-paced and intriguing plot, grand settings, a dialogue filled with underlying tension that drives the plot forward, interesting characters, and a razor-sharp portrayal that captures both details and larger contexts, the author Ulf Kvensler has written what has to be one of this year’s must-reads.”

• “This is one of those books that grabs the reader from the very first page and refuses to let go.”

• “This excellent and horrifying hiking tale is an utterly immersive page-turner with a highly engaging psychological drama between the four hikers. /…/ Ulf Kvensler’s background as a screenwriter shines through in this assured and well-composed narrative. Adding to that we have the milieu depictions from Sarek National Park. At times sunny with fragrant and vibrant splendor; at times snowy, rainy, cold and with a landscape enveloped in fog. Wuthering heights and pernicious depths. I’d warmly recommend Sarek to all those who enjoys the combination of suspense, horror and epic nature settings.”

• “Ulf Kvensler has a sure sense for horror ambiences, tempo, human aggression, and nature’s relentless dangers alike, and also manages to twist and turn the plot several times around towards the end.”
