Praise for Blood Ties

Wonderful praise for Ruth Lillegraven’s BLOOD TIES

«Lillegraven wraps the plot in packaging of Biblical dimensions. Nature and nurture, blood and water are just a few key themes. A page turner» says Hardanger Folkeblad.

«The story itself is a family drama of vengeance and loss. The writing is excellent. A psychological thriller with an intensity that has you glued to the page until the end. … Five stars out of five.» Blog: Henning Bokhylle.

«It is liberating to read a thriller written in such riveting prose: crime fiction is also a good fit for the poet Lillegraven …well-written and charged with momentum.» (DN)
