Critics Review

• An absorbing crime novel with an atmospheric setting, strong characters, and a suspenseful plot. With End of Summer, Anders de la Motte has proven himself to be one of Sweden’s most talented crime fiction authors

  Erik Axl Sund

• An utterly brilliant crime novel! So delicate and perceptive, and at the same time so endlessly thrilling

  Kristina Ohlsson

• What you have in your hands is a masterpiece of crime fiction, a very hot competitor for this year’s thriller . . . Anders de la Motte proves once again with his End of Summer that he is one of Scandinavia’s most ingenious crime writers, just as grand as Jussi Adler-Olsen. He writes absolutely murderously. His books are definitely unbeatable in terms of suspense

  Literaturmarkt, Germany

• An atmospherical dense book reminiscent of Henning Mankell’s early crime novels . . . Anders de la Motte writes profoundly without the tension dwindling for a second

  Petra Magazine

• A Swedish-set crime thriller for fans of the hugely successful CWA Gold Dagger-winning The Dry by Jane Harper . . . A gripping crime novel that moves between two narratives at a terrific clip, populated by vivid characters, with more twists along the way than you can shake a stick at. Crime fiction at its best

  Vaseem Khan

• A fantastic read. Atmospheric, beautifully written, with strong characters and with a really compelling mystery that made it incredibly hard to put down when I really needed sleep! A real triumph

  Gytha Lodge

• End of Summer is captivating from beginning to end, an evocative story of family secrets set in the broad open landscapes of southern Sweden – prepare to fall in love with Scandinavian fiction all over again

  Kevin Wignall, author of A Death in Sweden

• Each layer of this story reveals itself like the tilling of the soil with a brooding threat of summer rain close at hand. End of Summer is a delectable slice of unmissable rural noir where a dark harvest blossoms from the seeds of a terrible past
