Not for the faint hearted. /…/ This is a story filled with thrills and horror. I had to flip through the pages a bit at times before I dared to read further, but I was quickly gripped by the narrative.

The author ties all the threads together into a real page-turner of a crime novel. The chapters are short and the pace is high. (…) The language is snappy, entertaining, and natural, and the story is gripping. The characters are quirky and interesting, and Leo herself is tough as nails yet still relatable.

Those who have read and appreciated The Crow Girl trilogy will find the same creeping sense of unease in The Peacock Man. Erik Axl Sund excels at creating that unsettling atmosphere. The authors also have a remarkable talent for portraying wounded, broken individuals in a way that feels authentic. /…/ The greatest reward lies in the depiction of Mauritz Möller—pitiful, even repulsive, yet utterly fascinating to follow.
– Gefle Dagblad
Diamonds and Rust is a story about wounds that never heal, about envy, betrayal and revenge, and about a crime so well and thoroughly thought out that it may never be solved. Not unless Hanne Wilhelmsen gets a chance to try.
