The excellent and original prose elevates this novel far above many others of the same genre. A particularly well-executed plot holds the reader captive during this entertaining and thrilling piece of crime fiction

Wonderfully built story-world – atmospheric, dark, pleasantly twisted. A fast-moving midnight train from Oslo to the deepest fjords of the human mind

I loved Heine Bakkeid's first novel - I Will Miss You Tomorrow – and Scatter Her Ashes continues in the same creepy, atmospheric and darkly comic way

The first thing I noticed when reading Bakkeid's work is how snappy, darkly funny and addictive it is. He has such a skill of sucking you in, shocking you and entertaining you all in one chapter. No wonder he's being showered with rave reviews from authors and readers across the globe. I felt such a mixture of emotions for the character of Thorkild Aske, and that's all down to his creator, who nails characters to a tee. … Bakkeid is already big and his work is only going to get bigger and better.
