REVIEWS
”The Blue Poet’s Wife is a crime novel that can definately be recommended.”
Buchwelt / DE
”An exciting, dramatic story with just the cliffhangers that a good thriller must have to be stretch read.”
Östra Småland Nyheter / SWE
”Theils has accomplished a contemporary crime novel that puts its finger on many important questions. It’s a thrilling story and at the same time it contrasts the horrors with almost feelgood elements.”
Crime Garden / SWE
”The Blue Poet’s Wife writes itself nicely into the genre of Danish femi-crimes, and compares to both Elsebeth Egholm’s ”Dicte series” and Sara Blædel’s series with Louise Rick. The book receives my warmest recommendation and can readily be read independently of the first book in the series.”
