Reviews

 

"This is a particularly skillful written novel with parallel stories and sorrowful life fates that depicts how miss-use of power, greed, drugs, fanatic religious views and contempt can destroy lives.” – BTJ, library reviewer, no 16 2020

 

"Christina Erikson might just be one of the strongest crime writers we have in the world of suspenseful Scandi crime! The third book in this series The Thirteenth Disciple is SPOT ON. 5 out of 5." - Deckartips, book blog

 

“I really liked the previous book by the author THE RISING DARK but Christina Erikson has outdone herself with this book! It’s apparent that the author has her own solid knowledge about psychopaths and how people with psychopathic behavior use their lack of empathy and conscience to control others. 5 out of 5.” – Anna Vellet, @paddan75, Instagram
