An artfully written, exuberant thriller with a mercurial and interesting central character
- Barry Forshaw, Guardian
It's a rare treat to read a book by the far-from-prolific Danish author Peter Høeg. . . His latest novel is an offbeat futuristic thriller. . . the challenges Hoeg sets his readers are well worth taking on
Express
<b>A well-tuned and clever femi-thriller.</b>
Politiken
A continually surprising conspiracy thriller.
- THRILLER OF THE WEEK, The Mail on Sunday
Peter Høeg is back. And better. And with <b>a novel that is both a thriller, a soci</b><b>al critique, and existentially </b><b>provoking – and on top of that, wonderful and funny</b>.
Dagbladenes Bureau
<b>The main character bares a clear resemblance to a certain Miss Smilla.</b> It is not often that Høeg writes a new novel, but this one has clearly been worth the long wait.

Economist
Susan is a resourceful action heroine, part Lisbeth Salander, part Saga Norén, fearless with a crowbar and a screwdriver
The Arts Desk
<i>The Susan Effect</i> introduces an eccentric mix of characters headed by its ultra-bright narrator, Susan Svendson. . . Hoeg is serious, funny, intelligent, ridiculous, preachy, wise, incomprehensible, surreal and persuasive. It’s very readable
- Marcel Berlins, The Times
Peter Høeg is back with a new <b>thriller about quantum physics and the fact that the elite is neglecting th</b><b>e rest of society</b>…the novel is a well-placed kick into high society’s modern powdered wigs.
