The Silja Frost series – reviews and praise

Here you can read what the critics say about “Selv om himmelen faller” and “Det du eier evig”.

The series follows police officer Silja Frost through dark, realistic crime cases where old secrets, human weakness and small communities play a central role.

 

My books have been praised for their language, realism and depth of character by book bloggers, readers, critics and fellow authors. I treasure all the feedback – it means a lot to me and keeps me inspired as I write.

“A debut that really sizzles! Inger Johanne Øen writes crime as if she’d never done anything else. Wow!”

“Det du eier evig”

Book 1 in the crime series about police officer Silja Frost

Silja’s old best friend, Ann, has been missing for 19 years, ever since she vanished on her way home from a party. The village’s trauma is brutally reawakened when Ann’s body is found in a barrel on an abandoned farm.

 

The investigation stirs up old secrets, and unrest spreads through the village. For Silja the case becomes deeply personal, and some people would rather see her off it.

 

The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the hunt for the killer becomes. Could it be someone she knows?
