Spring Bestsellers & New Reviews!

We are excited to see our new fiction titles on the official bestseller lists of April and to share new praise for them! 

Riikka-Maria Rosenberg’s beautifully vivid historical novel ANNA OF HAGA MANOR is in top 10 for both printed and e-books, and the masterfully crafted story has gained favourable praise in social media and print both!

PRAISE FOR ANNA OF HAGA  MANOR: 

“As a PhD, Rosenberg knows the events and the customs of the time period, which makes her text real and impressive. [–] the descriptions of the manor are made especially interesting knowing that the author lives there herself together with her family. The beautiful and nuanced language makes reading pleasurable.”
–Antiikki & Design magazine

“Riikka-Maria Rosenberg writes about the previous generations of the Haga Manor without added garnish and gilding, but beautifully and tastefully.”
–Riikka Happonen in Etelä-Suomen Sanomat newspaper

“I can’t resist the thought of the life in the mansions of the old age. Nor can I resist such a perfect, impressive and sensual historical novel. It’s fascinating to read a work of fiction where the min character is a real historical figure, the wife Karl Gustaf Uggla, the heir of the Haga Manor. This is a book I did not just read. This is a book I lived.”

We’re also thrilled to see Laura Andersson’s crime novel LILI FLAME INVESTIGATES climbing to top 20 in less than a month! The book has been a hit among crime fans, as the reviews show:

PRAISE FOR LILI FLAME INVESTIGATES: MURDER AT THE MANSION:

“The narration flows swiftly and the post-war Helsinki as a location feels fresh. Lili is a heroine well suited there: a woman of the new era with her own will and a quick wit.”
–Salla Stotesbury in Kodin Kuvalehti magazine

”Murder at the Mansion is easy-flowing and gentle narration, so one doesn’t have to fear nightmares springing up from the book’s events. Despite the initial calmness the story also features serious themes. Andersson has masterfully woven in the period descriptions but without it feeling forced.”
–Aino-Maria Savolainen, ammankirjablogi blog

“The Charm of Agatha Christie”
“A well-flowing old style crime novel [–] I’ll be delighted to read Lili and Riku’s next case as well.”
–Riikka Kuuskoski in Ilta-Sanomat newspaper

“The most charming one”
– Sari Toivakka in Keski-Suomalainen newspaper

Eeva Louko’s MURDER ON THE ISLE OF BLISS, already sold to 5 territories, has sold over 10 000 copies and also attracted new praise!

The rights are still available in eg. Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, Spain etc!

PRAISE FOR MURDER ON THE ISLE OF BLISS:

“The descriptions of the friend group – who’ve been there for each other since school – is wonderful. [–] For a debut, Murder on the Isle of Bliss is like the work of a professional author. The surprises and the excitement last till the very end.”
– Ruumiin Kulttuuri (the magazine of the Finnish Whodunnit Society)

“Oh, how good this was, I liked it a lot! Very enthralling and interesting, with a fast pace and keeping you in its grip. An incredibly good crime title, and thankfully this is the first in a series, so there’s more to come!”
– Hennankirjat on Instagram

“Louko writes at times delicately and poetically, and the nature is an important part of the narration. The running tracks near the sea house terror, so one can also read the book as a psychological thriller if one fancies. The title had all the elements needed and I fancied Louko’s style.”
– Anukatri, Anun Ihmeelliset Matkat blog
