«An absolutely delightful debut with heartwarming character growth and a clever, genre-savvy country-house mystery»
Kirkus, starred review
«I mordmysteriet «Familien Swift» er formuleringene minst like slagferdige som drapsmannen. (..) språket løfter «Familien Swift». Her ligger det kjærlighet i de britiske, snirklete og godlynt syrlige formuleringene (.) Illustrasjonene speiler språket godt og sender assosiasjoner til Roald Dahl-illustratør Quentin Blake.»
Silje Bekeng-Flemmen, Klassekampen
«Lincoln's love of lexicon shines. A delightful pick for sharp readers enamored of gothic sensibilities and clever prose»
