“The Stonecutter, by Camilla Läckberg . . . continues her excellent series . . . The main narrative is cleverly interspersed with flashbacks from the past, the relevance of which becomes apparent as the novel progresses. Läckberg is particularly good at portraying the claustrophobia of a small community in which everyone knows everyone else and the police may well be friends with killers.”
      —Marcel Berlins, The Times

“Camilla Läckberg is probably the hottest female writer in Sweden at the moment . . . Läckberg’s job is to make the reader pleasurably uncomfortable—one of her ironclad skills.”
      —Barry Foreshaw, Independent

“The interplay between the police detectives and the lives of the characters in the small town . . . are absorbing and realistic.”
      —eurocrime.co.uk

“A true pleasure to read.”
      —Nordic book blog

“This book is an unexpected delight ... Tense and disturbing—you won’t want to put it down.”
      —News of the World
