Enjoyable read! "This is a great book if you like gutsy female sleuths with a dash of Nordic drama..."
"...The author captures the natural beauty and the sights and sounds and way of life for people in Finland with her descriptive prose. As with all good crime novels, she reminds us of the facade of the small village with the tight community and its mysteries and dark sides even in Finland."

Sleepy Island Lies
Amazon
Tytti's investigations continue! "Once again the intrepid jouralist, Tytti Vertainen, finds herself involved in a mystery..."
"...The description is delightful and concise, which keeps the plot moving along. I felt the development of the characters and their idiosyncrasies: her vicar father’s divine interventions, the distractions of her friends love lives and the unhurried local policeman’s blunders, and each ones intimate relationship with Tytti to be both charming and believable..."
"...Tytti is easily becoming one of my favourite female sleuths. This book is both original in its setting and captivating in its story. I definitely recommend it."
Goodreads
"...The island environment is almost a character itself, immersing us in its atmosphere. Each chapter reveals new clues and raises the stakes, things continue to be discovered, information about one person, then another. In this plot everything is so well constructed, the aspects of investigation are carefully balanced with the development of the characters..."
"...It's one of those stories you can devour in a day. Seriously, what an author. She has an incredible style, careful, full of resources and with a really agile narrative that never gets boring. A must if you are a fan of the genre."
LibraryThing
"...The author guided me from one interesting event to the next by creating a realistic narrative and using nature and location to create mood and tension. I read a lot of mysteries and they can become confusing, but I was easily able to visualize different scenes as the story developed through the author's detailed descriptions."
iBooks
"Sleepy Island Lies is an attention-grabbing novel and it’s worth reading through to the last chapter to find out just how Tytti exposes the lies people tell her. I highly recommend it."
