The Corpse Flower

Reviews / Votes

'Ingenious ... It demands not to be ignored ... Taut, menacing, and intensely thrilling, it never lets go' - Geoffrey Wansall, The Daily Mail 'A powerful debut ... dark and moody' - Paul Burke, Crime Time FM 'Hancock writes with a razor-sharp pen, wittily and with originality. I simply adore her books' - Katrine Engberg, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Tenant and The Butterfly House 'Anne Mette Hancock, newcomer to the Nordic thriller, has a lot of talent' - Elle France 'Anne Mette Hancock has written a killer book. This one has it all - a great story, compelling characters, and a page-turning plot. Don't miss The Corpse Flower' - Harry Hunsicker, author of The Devil's Country 'Scandinavian noir at its noirest. It's hard, maybe unthinkable, to imagine how Hancock will follow it up' - Kirkus Reviews 'A guaranteed page-turner' - Emelie Schepp, author of the Jana Berzelius Series '[A] gripping debut ... Assured prose matches the intricate plot. Hancock is off to a strong start' - Publishers Weekly 'Can most assuredly hold her ground against a number of Swedish and Danish crime queens' - Berlingske 'Absolutely wonderful. Superbly constructed and totally enthralling' - Helene Tursten, author of Snowdrift 'Classic femi-crime with equal parts lifestyle and suspense' - Weekendavisen 'Breathes life into old genre-cliches' - Jyllands posten 'Likblomman really stands out with a personal, hard-boiled style and Kaldan and Schaefer deviate early from what you'd believe to be the predictable path' - Skanska Dagbladet 'Gripping, endearing, dark, and funny, Anne Mette Hancock has written the best series I've read this year. Kaldan and Schafer are my new favourite crime-solving duo. Highly recommended' - Harlan Coben
