A deliciously creepy novel revolving around a terrific paradigm shift: The job you think you’re doing? That’s not the job you’re really doing.
Chris Pavone, author of THE EXPATS
Agatha Christie meets George Orwell in journalist Avdic’s unsettling first novel ... Avdic not only constructs a fascinating and original plot but makes her imagined reality chillingly plausible.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
An Orwellian debut novel that never lets up . . . A heady mix of And Then There Were None and The Hunger Games [and] a supremely competitive struggle for survival.
Booklist
Suspenseful . . . Like a Swedish Hunger Games for adults . . . A very promising debut.
Skaraborgs Läns Tidning
A captivating thought experiment. A dystopia so credible it provokes chills, and a world that fits the psychological thriller like a glove.
Borås Tidning
Full of unexpected twists and turns, power games, and realizations that no one is to be trusted ... The pages rush past – I can't seem to be able to put the book down.
Sydsvenskan
Intriguing . . . Reminiscent of classic "locked room" mysteries by writers like Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and P. D. James. But its near-future setting and Orwellian setup make it feel almost chillingly forward-looking as well.
Bookreporter
Resembling Agatha Christie at her zaniest, this fascinating, ever- changing scenario is deftly and grippingly handled
Sunday Times
With a terrifying dystopian core and a foreboding that lurks on every page, this is terrifying stuff.
