"Katarzyna Puzynska deserves to be called the Polish Camilla Lackberg."
—Robert Ostaszewski, Literary Critic

"Katarzyna Puzyńska's novel is a highly successful debut. The author proves her mastery of a multi-layered plot. She knows how to evocatively recreate the atmosphere of a small community like no one else."
—Bernadetta Darska, Onet Ksiazki

"Katarzyna Puzyńska has surprised all readers with an excellent crime novel that is, above all, thoughtful and well-crafted, not just another predictable novel. Puzyńska shows that Scandinavians aren't the only ones who can write good crime fiction."
—Aurelia Wojtkowiak, Opetani Czytaniem

One cold winter morning on the outskirts of the village of Lipovo, a dead nun is found lying in the road. Daniel Podgorski and his team investigate to determine if this was an accident or murder.

As they question the inhabitants of this small, quiet town where nothing ever happens, it becomes clear that Sister Monica was killed and there are several suspects. It’s Daniel’s first chance to prove he can investigate a crime of this magnitude.

A few days later, a second woman is killed yet there doesn't seem to be any link between the two murder victims. The longer the investigation takes, the more time there is for the police to unearth the dark secrets of so many of the townspeople.

Katarzyna Puzynska, born in 1985, has a degree in psychology and spent time as psychology professor at university. She now spends all her time writing and is the host of a television program about crime. In addition to the Lipowo crime series, she is the author of a stand-alone thriller, a fantasy series and a true crime series.
