Translated by Laura A. Wideburg.
”What if Ingmar Bergman were to write a screenplay for a contemporary Snow White, with a really dark twist on the happily-ever-after? Well, it might turn out to be something like Good Night, My Darling. Certainly it would have the dark, brooding Swedish atmosphere Bergman did so well. But believe it or not, Frimansson’s book is better.”

”In Inger Frimansson’s fine novel Good night, my darling, published in New York by Pleasure Boat Studio, the question is not who committed a crime, nor whether the protagonist will meet a horrible death. There are no guns, no drug dealers, no gangsters. Instead, crimes are committed amid the ordinary lives of ordinary people. With this novel, Inger Frimansson won the Swedish Academy of Mystery Authors Award for Best Swedish Crime Novel.”

”This novel by yet another accomplished Swedish crime writer takes a while to get going, but once it does, readers had better hang on. ….. the very atmospheric, somewhat claustrophobic story concerns Justine, a wealthy woman approaching middle age, who, after a tormented childhood and a not-much-better adulthood, figures it’s time to free herself of the horrible memories that are beating her down.”
