Praise for the Hunkeler series: “Looks ideal for anyone who enjoys reading about detectives like Martin Beck and Wallander.” --CrimeFictionLover. “Basel may be Swiss, but like all border cities it’s anything but squeaky clean, especially in his fast-paced, gritty stories.”—Financial Times
"The novel is sophisticated, well-written, witty, as in the description of the pompous, class-obsessed author of detective novels, and short. I was very impressed.”---The Critic
Haunting, eerie and strange in its imagery but often grimly humorous, The Basel Killings is a vintage Swiss mystery fiction that appears to only be improving with age. CrimeTime
This is an absorbing story; Hansjörg Schneider paints a disturbing picture of a cruelty that has lain undiscussed behind the façade of Swiss propriety and complacency; and all the while he keeps us guessing right to the end." European Literature Network (ELN)
