One of the most arresting thrillers I've read for years. Hypnotic! Aichner plumbs the darkest depths of the human psyche in this compelling tale of a female undertaker. As a mother, Blum is touching and relatable. But as a vengeful wife determined to hunt down her husband's killers... Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
- Lisa Gardner,
An ironclad guarantee of sleepless nights
INDEPENDENT
Aichner has a talent for keeping readers hooked - this is a gripping read and the character of Blum lives long in the mind.
TELEGRAPH
<i>Woman of the Dead</i> is a horrifying thriller with strong links to Jeff Linday's Dexter . . . Aichner's character is so strongly realised that, like Dexter, the reader wills her on to succeed. <i>Woman of the Dead</i> will surprise as it horrifies.
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
There is a wicked and thrilling high concept to the story, lots of action, and a sexy and dangerous female protagonist.
CRIME FICTION LOVER
A wonderful thriller about love and retribution - playful, dark and dangerous - I read it in one sitting
William Ryan
Blum is a great character and when Aichner's ghost-train plot ends in the only place it can - a crematorium - you feel like cheering
THE GUARDIAN
Aichner is one of the stars of Austrian crime fiction. This strongly written bestseller synthesises elements from <i>Kill Bill</i> and the Lisbeth Salander books to grimly mesmerising effect.
