Rezension:
"With The Woman Inside, M. T. Edvardsson has written a super well-composed chamber drama, where the darkness dwells, the desperation grows between the characters and the walls are closing in until you´re caught in the trap."
-Lars Kepler, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Sandman
"Alienation, self-preservation, and hope propel the story toward calamity with unrelenting suspense; highly recommended for fans of psychological thrillers."
-Booklist
"In an impressive feat of structural engineering, M.T. Edvardsson knits together the narratives of three characters wrapped up in a murder in a Swedish college town."
-Shelf Awareness
"[A] crafty psychological thriller... Readers follow with grim fascination as the book's all-too-human cast stumbles into tragedy. Mr. Edvardsson, the author of "A Nearly Normal Family" (2018), has structured his unpredictable story in clever ways. Even though we know what's coming, the conclusion delivers a surpris ing jolt."
