Reviews and Publicity
 
’All four crime novels have been received very well by Danish and Greenlandic reviewers and readers - and I'm particularly happy about the positive feedback and praise I get when I meet people. It happens everywhere: on the street in Nuuk, on a plane to Uummannaq, at the airport in Kangerlussuaq, at book fairs and at small and large events in Greenland as well as in Denmark. At international literary fora such as 'Newcastle Noir', 'Hans Olav Lahlums Crime Festival' in Norway and 'Iceland Noir' people show great interest in the Arctic, for instance in relation to my participation in panels and interviews, and when I meet collegue writers and others working with literature.’

‘One can, without spoilers, say that the modern-day Greenlandic society is portrayed precise and unremarkable. Nina von Staffeldt knows her characters and their 
ordinary lives, and she knows the history of Greenland 
well enough that she can rearrange it to fit the crime ..
.The persisting unsolvable conflict between Danish and Greenlandic [politics, culture and languages, edt.] plays its customary role, when well-educated people work together professionally; they cleverly balance the narrow line without falling to either side. Frozen Evidence is a likeable book and a classic, solid crime novel.’

‘The national power play and the classical crime novel’s ”closed space crime” unite in Nina von Staffeldt’s Frozen Evidence... ‘
Jyllands-Posten

‘Wonderful crime novel – especially for all those just the least bit smitten with love of Greenland.’

‘The book is well-written and comes alive with its great love of Greenland, its realism and the calmness that balances with the ominous plot. In Greenland you take your time. You drink coffee (lots and lots of coffee). You enjoy nature. And you are sceptic of the Danes’ and other foreigners’ well-meaning patronizing …’

Readers wrote
  
-  A truly coherent thriller with an exciting plot. The author's feeling for and knowledge of Greenland makes the novel seem like it was written 'from the inside'. 
 
- Already when I started reading The Black Angel, I remembered the joy, imprisonment and expectation I felt when I read Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy. Nina von Staffeldt really manages to bring the reader into the history. Fortunately, the book is not full of horror and creepy atmosphere as the Millenium trilogy, but there’s definitely enough thrill.
 
- Great debut in the new genre of 'Arctic Noir'. Exciting personal impressions, exciting development with view to the protagonist. A most needed enlargement of the books about and from Greenland: it shows that Greenland is much more than Jørn Riel, Peter Freuchen, Kim Leine and the (otherwise relevant) socio-critical books. Greenland's towns are also towns with people like everywhere else.
 
- I love the subdued narrative style that lets the reader get a fascinating insight into Greenland's nature and people, alongside the crime intrigue.
 
- In fact, the story of the people and the country is almost the most exciting part. Staffeldt paints some great pictures and succeeds in weaving in a lot of interesting information and facts, and the characters are generally likeable and credible.
 
- I started reading Frozen Evidence in the plane. After a few pages I put it away, didn’t really feel like reading crime novels. A couple of days upon arrival I wanted to settle down with a good book. Your novel came to my mind and I started reading. Now, a few days later, I'm done and I just LOVE it and am looking forward to the sequel. I'm crazy about your quiet way of telling the story without losing suspense. I'm crazy about the pictures that you ’put into my head’ and I really like Sika, although I feel I still do not know her that well. I am so looking forward to get to know her better. You have managed to make me feel like reading crime novels. Your crime novels.
