Shadow of Fog Island

Reviews

 

Very interesting about how easy it is to get duped. Mariette Lindstein makes the whole cult-problem universally applicable in a frightening way.
-Lotta Olsson/DN

 

 

"One of our most deeply penetrating authors psychologically."

- Magnus Utvik

 

Creepy reading about a phenomenon that penetrates today’s society. Mariette Lindstein writes in a way that makes you see the story as a Hollywood movie inside your skull. At least as good as Fog island. The suspense increases slowly, the characters are real and I am already impatiently waiting for the third book.

-DAST magazine

 

 

If possible even better than the first book. More drive, impressive language with nice flow in the text that makes it worth reading without being empty. It is absolutely brilliant to be able to use your personal experiences this way.

- Jonas Danielsson/Magazine and TV-reviewer

 

Is it possible to leave a sect? And what happens to the people who do? Extremely suspenseful and the author does her best to explain and shed a light on the phenomenon of cults.

-Hallandsposten/Hallands Nyheter

 

 

An intelligent and skillfully spun intrigue about cult mentality and a thrilling continuation of the first book. The author shows that she knows her subject and once again creates a “must-read” thriller.

-BTJ

 

 

It´s damned suspenseful, despite the absence of Norwegian serial killers with mothers-complex or alcoholic police officers. Franz Oswald is a devilish, damned good, bad guy.

-The book-box

 

 

It is fatally suspenseful from start to the finish. I had to check that the front door was locked several times. It is extremely good, fascinating, touching, electrifying and horrifying. Brilliant!

The first book was suspenseful and this one becomes creepy in parts. What a page-turner! It´s impossible to put it down. Highly recommended!

It is frightening to read this book and that´s what makes it so very important. It makes me cheer for the good forces, both in the book and real life. Those who continue to fight against darkness and evil.

What can i say? She did it again! Beautiful descriptions that make a language-enthusiast happy. And suspenseful! It gave me creepy sensations of the kind that are connected to cults. I highly recommend this book!

-Lotta Modin/journalist/writer

 

 

It gave me a clear and genuine understanding and respect for people who are in sects. I recommend my followers to read this book – I urge you!
