Reviews of The Rabbit Factor:

–
Readers might think they know what to expect from Nordic noir: a tortured detective, a bleak setting, a brutal crime that shakes a small community. Finnish crime novelist Tuomainen turns all of this on its head … The ear of a giant plastic rabbit becomes a key weapon. It only gets darker and funnier – The GuardianFull of refreshing wit and wisdom … a treat – Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEWA dark and delightful novel with an intelligent, brave, and persnickety hero – Foreword ReviewsTuomainen is the funniest writer in Europe – The Times of London

You don’t expect to laugh when you’re reading about terrible crimes, but that’s what you’ll do when you pick up one of Tuomainen’s decidedly quirky thrillers – The New York Times

**Soon to be a major motion picture starring Steve Carell for Amazon Studios**
