October is the Coldest Month by Christoffer Carlsson
I loved this book. Beautifully written, with an atmosphere I could taste, October is the Coldest Month had me questioning the line between rescue and culpability in an unflinching, white-knuckle read.
Dianne Touchell, Author of A Small Madness
Taut, tense, and thick with atmosphere.
Saturday Age
The writing is as lean and edgy as the characters … utterly believable and utterly compelling.
Ellie Marney, Author of The Every Series
A compulsive read … Gripping.
The Big Issue
A gritty, edgy thriller that will get under your skin.
Sunday Independent
Each twist and turn ripples with menace … Gripping.
Anne Cassidy, Author of Moth Girls
Gritty Nordic Noir that grips you from the get go.
Tim Pegler, Author of Five Parts Dead
The desolate landscape is the perfect backdrop for this taut tale of old family feuds and unfurling secrets.
The Irish Times
Vega herself is a desperate, resourceful, unstoppable protagonist … Carlsson has delivered a well plotted mystery … with a couple of gasp-worthy twists.
Robert Goodman, Pile by the Bed
The writing flows and it's hard to put down. It's not only the suspense — something in the way its written makes the story get under your skin … in a good way.

So cool that Christoffer Carlsson is suddenly writing young adult. A thrilling whodunit set in the isolated countryside. Love it! Hope to read more about Vega, the paper-friend I have come to like so much.

A wonderfully well-written book. Exciting, beautiful, horrible, and creepy.

October is the Coldest Month by Christoffer Carlsson is a dense, claustrophobic thriller with a few surprising twists and plenty of suspense.

...And exciting it is. The seasoned crime writer Christoffer Carlsson always has intrigue under his control, and slowly turns up the mystery and drama.

Short and taut — and all the better for it.
