C. J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man, has written a darkly comic, atmospheric, and creepy novel. Bakkeid is already big and his work is only going to get bigger and better. The Daily Record praised the book, saying, "Disgraced, damaged former police officer Thorkild Aske has stopped taking his painkillers after his last experience searching for the missing in northern Norway. Wracked by withdrawal and desperate for work, he reluctantly agrees to investigate the disappearance of two schoolgirls for bestselling crime writer Milla Lind – but he soon discovers that Linds interest in the case is not, as she claims, simply research for her latest novel. When Thorkild discovers that her previous investigator was murdered on the job, no one will explain why – all he has to go on are files about unrelated cases from all across Norway. Oh, and his ex-wife wants to talk. What could possibly go wrong?" The book has received praise from Stephen King, who said, "Stephen King has got himself a Norwegian crime heir." Ekstra Bladet praised the book, saying, "Wonderfully creepy." The Daily Mail praised the book, saying, "A gripping, atmospheric novel and a first outing for Aske. More are promised – I can't wait." Saga praised the book, saying, "At a stroke, Bakkeid has entered the upper echelons of Norwegian crime writing." Barry Forshaw praised the book, saying, "C. J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man, has written a darkly comic, atmospheric, and creepy novel. Bakkeid is already big and his work is only going to get bigger and better."
