* 本书刚荣获今年哥德堡书展（Göteborg Book Fair）提名Crime Time Debut of 2020年度犯罪小说处女作奖项（总共有五名作家获得提名）

评审讲评如下：

“A stable and well-written crime debut where the present is weaved together with the past in a page turning style. The dramaturgy impresses, so does the drive and exploration of memory, sorrow and survival. We are especially drawn to the beautiful surroundings and appreciate that The High Coast so vibrantly and enticingly is put on the Swedish crime map. The author also shows great sensitivity to the human traumas and the consequences which make the two main characters come alive and become realistic.

Crime Time Debut犯罪处女作小说奖项评审团指出，今年被提名的作家都充满了创意精神，不仅为犯罪小说类型注入创新元素外，也引起许多读者共鸣。

书评

The reviews are absolutely glowing:

“Areklew builds a fantastic story, truly well written and thrilling with many unexpected twists and turns. All through we have incredibly skilled character portrayals, impressive setting depictions, mainly from the High Coast, and a thought-through storytelling where different perspectives in different times build strong suspense for the page-turning reader, towards a dramatic resolution with a great twist at the end. I’m convinced that this book will be a bestseller and I’m already looking forward to meeting Sofia and Fredrik again!” //Kapprakt

Editor Karin Linge Nordh at Bazar says :

"When I read the manuscript the first time I immediately felt it was something extraordinary, Lina Areklew blew my mind. It had everything I am looking for: a voice of its own, an exciting theme, complex characters and alluring milieu. Instead of being thrown into a murder plot we are delving into the psyche of the M/S Estonia ferry disaster survivor Fredrik Fröding. We share his memories, his sorrow, his anxiety. The tension builds up, slowly and efficiently, and soon he's drawn into a murder on the beautiful island Ulvön in the archipelago of the High Coast. Dark and sudden deaths in the midst of summer, complex characters you want to invest your time in, fantastic setting and a clever plot - Lina Areklew’s debut crime novel has everything you could wish for and I am convinced her High Coast series will be a readers' favourite! ”

Some very positive words from booksellers:

”I love the setting, the High Coast is such a fresh environment never portrayed before. Sofia is an interesting character to build on, it look forward to following her journey. The plot is also well built and disturbing. It could be the talk of the year!”//  Malin Wall, Västerviks bokhandel

”I really enjoy the setting and when it is as well written as this, you want to go and visit the island. I eagerly read on, I need to know what happens to the missing hotel owner, the troubled attorney and everyone else. So with a few more pages to read - I know I really like this book!"// Karin E, Falkenbergs bokhandel
