“One rarely encounters as great a debut thriller as [—] Aamos Honka’s literary debut Crimson Web, published in January. [—] In his novel, Honka has succeeded in creating a thrilling and even authentic atmosphere that keeps [the readers] in its grip until the end.”
– Jari Olavi Hiltunen, Satakunnan Kansa newspaper

“The book delivers absolutely brilliant intensity. The thriller draws you in and keeps you tightly in its grip. At times, the pace is downright breathtakingly exciting. Aamos Honka seems to really know the ingredients of a good thriller. The reader doesn’t have to be an expert of the field to get a grasp of the novel’s world, and the narration is pleasantly easy to read. [—] in the reader’s mind there is a constant thought that all of this could probably happen in real life as well.”
