Críticas:

Praise for the Hanne Wilhelmsen series:

Praise for No Echo:

"A nearly pitch-perfect procedural layered over a moving exploration of rejection and abandonment."
--Booklist

"Transcripts of witness statements alternate with Holt's penetrating psychological analysis of human desires, weaknesses, and essential decency, unveiling unexpected dimensions of her series characters."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"If you aren't familiar with her Hanne Wilhelmsen novels, it's okay to dive in with this one--No. 7--but then do yourself a favor and binge-read the first six."
--Entertainment Weekly

"Anne Holt is the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction."
--Jo Nesbo

"Fast-paced and involving.... Holt knows psychology as well as she knows the ins and outs of police-work. She quickly draws the reader into the minds and lives of half a dozen disparate characters--none more interesting than Inspector Wilhelmsen herself... Holt's visions of societal and ethical decay are balanced by glimpses of great poignancy, human consolation and love."
--The Wall Street Journal

"Within this English translation of Holt's 1997 novel lies a twisty tale of political intrigue...a clever mystery."
--Library Journal

"A good old-fashioned murder mystery. Wherever Hanne shows up next, my advice is to follow that wheelchair."
--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

"It must be spooky in Scandinavia, but Holt, Norway's best-selling female crime writer and a former minister of justice, has a goofy streak that changes the tone of this beguiling book....I really loved this snowbound book."
--Washington Post

Reseña del editor:

When one of Oslo’s hottest celebrity chefs is murdered, Hanne Wilhelmsen is called back into action in the sixth installment of the award-winning series from Norway’s #1 bestselling female crime writer.

On a cold December evening, celebrity chef Brede Ziegler is discovered stabbed to death on the steps of Oslo’s police headquarters, sending a shock wave through the city’s hip in-crowd. Chef Ziegler had many famous associates and more than a few enemies among them. Was his murder a random act of violence or did someone want him dead? Police investigator Billy T. is stymied by conflicting information about the kind of man Ziegler was. It seems nobody really knew him: not his glamorous wife, his business partner, nor the editor of his memoir-in-progress. The case is hopeless until Hanne Wilhelmsen returns to Oslo after a six-month stay in Italy and teams up with Billy T. Working together, they are pulled deep into the nefarious world inhabited by Ziegler. Was he at all the chef he claimed to be? And can those who knew him be trusted?
