by Trude Teige
A WOMAN DIES, a girl disappears.
JOURNALIST KAJSA LIVES with her husband, police officer Karsten, on an idyllic island in Norway. But the whole town is thrown into turmoil when Sissel is found dead – a woman in her mid-thirties who hadn’t spoken in years but observed everything from her window and wrote everything down on little pieces of paper. What did Sissel see, and why did she have to die? When a girl suddenly disappears and Karsten gets nowhere with his investigations, Kajsa gets involved…

REVIEWS
“With the novel The Girl Who Stopped Talking, Trude Teige consolidates her position as the foremost of our crime writers who focus on the shadowy aspects that characterize many local communities (…) In recent decades, we have had a number of very good crime writers, but there are none who, to the same extent as Trude Teige, focus on harrowing everyday stories (…) The Girl Who Stopped Talking is an exciting read, with drama without too much action. This adds to the book’s credibility – without detracting from the suspense. The book is hard to put down. The reader is propelled from page to page.”
Tvedestrandposten, Norway
“But the hunt for the riddles of the mute, dead woman is well constructed, with fine foreshadowing and intricate connections. (…) Teige sparkles most when she depicts the fates of the abandoned and the betrayed, when the text sizzles with commitment and meaning.” Verdens Gang, Norway
“Hard to put down.”
