Everything Is Mine (2021)
(Clara, book 1)
Ruth Lillegraven
"A refreshingly different kind of thriller. The story is riveting, the plot artful, with constant twists and surprises and a serious underlying theme. I devoured the book in two evenings, but the characters are still with me "
The Bell in the Lake (2020)
(Sister Bells Trilogy, book 1)
Lars Mytting
"Love, suspense, nature and superstition are woven together in this powerful novel."
