Reviews
"Irrésistible." - ELLE France
"This impressive mystery debut rests on a fascinating real-life premise...[a] remarkably detailed exploration of a heartbreakingly sad but strangely humanizing calling that places its practitioners 'halfway between the living and the dead, helping to work a link that transcended time and space'...one of the most promising new crime series to appear this year."
- Booklist
"Koff's intriguing mystery debut introduces two strong women [who] do forensic profiles of missing persons...[Koff] paints a vivid picture of the effect of those losses on victims' loved ones. The costs are heavy for those who try to help, but so are the rewards...Readers will look forward to the sequel." - Publishers Weekly
"Freezing is an intricately plotted thriller rich with fascinating forensic details only a pro could deliver. A great debut."
- Jonathan Kellerman
"Koff has written a procedural with emotional depth...[she] fills her debut thriller with fascinating true-to-life forensic details [and] steadily builds the suspense to the climactic twist ...Readers who enjoy Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs won't want to miss this." - Library Journal
"Coriace." - Grazia
From the publisher:
"Clea Koff, anthropologue médico-legale, signe un thriller trépidant. Traqueur traqué, criminel machiavélique, expert en blouse blanche, elle flirte avec le danger, joue avec nos nerfs et manie la plume comme le scalpel."
- Éditions Héloïse d’Ormesson
