Reviews
"Linguistically and plotwise superior." – (Politiken - 5 Hearts )
"It is an incredibly exciting story about Billy, who embarks on a hectic hunt to find his vanished mother. Billy's quiet everyday life with the mother is drastically changed and there turns out to be many things that Billy's mum has omitted to tell her son. The attention of the reader is caught from the prologue's first page when a stranger rings the doorbell at Billy's flat when he is home alone. The book is well-written and the language is current. The cover is very appealing and the blurb is exciting without revealing too much. The story has an open ending and I can almost not wait to read the sequel!" – (Lektørudtalelse - Library review)
