Knife is a fantastic and exhilarating suspense novel * Dagbladet * Skilfully plotted...Nesbo...uses the vast, cold landscapes of Norway to excellent effect in building dread * UK Press Syndication * Nesbo weaves the strands of his elaborate narrative with the ease of a gifted storyteller, tantalising the reader with misdirections and a plateful of red herrings. Yet it's remarkable how quickly he can disentrangle an intricate plot. And momentum? He's a genius at that - the 500-plus pages just fly by...never underestimate Nesbo - he's a writer with a seemingly endless supply of stories to tell * The Times * [Knife] may be Nesbo's best storytelling yet.
