Meet Me in the Darkness

"Martta Kaukonen once again proves she’s a tour de force in the psych thriller genre with this tautly plotted, highly original, twisty read. Her seamless execution keeps the reader turning the pages well into the night."
—A.A. Chaudhuri, author of She's Mine

"Kaukonen creates a refined, unsettling, almost claustrophobic psychological thriller. She writes about trauma, memory, and guilt. About what we repress in order to survive. And how devastating it can be when everything resurfaces."
—Agorà Letterario

"Martta Kaukonen confirms herself as an author capable of using the genre as a critical instrument, exploring trauma, power, and memory with a distinctive and recognizable voice. A novel that engages with the best of international psychological noir and cements her as a writer to watch carefully on the European literary scene."
—Contorni Di Noir

"For a while now, even though I read decent thrillers, I always noticed the same old plot threads, a repetition of predictable dynamics, characters who acted according to clichés, and I regularly ended up getting a little bored. In short, I felt the need to find a good thriller that would surprise me, that finally represented something different from the usual. When I read Meet Me in the Darkness, I knew I'd found the thriller I was looking for."
