REVIEWS
“Betrayal is a crime novel about how lies and concealment can have sinister consequences. Low-key and well-made about a multifaceted past (…) A sympathetic, insightful and enriching acquaintance.”
Aftenposten, Norway
“Good Western crime in the shadow of illegal romance during the war. (…) The third crime book from TV2 reporter Trude Teige is definitely her best.”
Stavanger Aftenblad, Norway
“A gem on a serious subject (…) Although Betrayal is a crime novel, this reviewer would argue that this is an important novel that puts its finger on very tender points in our society – even 70 years later. Teige writes well and that makes the book a gem – despite the serious theme (…) she surpasses herself with Betrayal. So far, this is her best.”
