”Watch out for the new author duo writing under the pseudonym Sander Jakobsen. I just read their debut crime novel The Preacher and I must say, I’m impressed. It’s a thrilling, skilful crime novel with great characters and a great atmosphere.” - Sara Blaedel

“Reminiscent at times of Karin Fossum, The Preacher is about far more than an investigation. The book looks deeply into how a killing affects those left behind – Thorkild, Frank, friends, the police, and the community beyond. The writing team behind this book - Dagmar Winther and Kenneth Degnbol – are gifted with characters and have constructed an intricate psychological premise for their debut novel.” - crimefictionlover.com

“This really is a fantastic, brooding dark Scandi crime novel from this new writing duo and long may they continue with their efforts. I loved the characters and the atmosphere that has been created in this novel and it is easy to picture in your mind as you read. This is one of the best crime debut novels that I have read!” - Paul Diggett

“The preacher is a story well told with elegant details, credible dilemmas between motive and opportunity – simply a really good, in places even thought-provoking crime thriller with a firm grip on its reader.” - Alt for Damerne Magazine

"The Preacher is a deceptively clever thriller that bears thinking about. There's none of the stilted, overly-formal prose that often afflicts translated fiction. Quite the contrary; there are often little shots of poetry that give the novel an unexpected gravitas, but not at the expense of plot or action. The novel is plotted and structured cleverly; the story keeps a firm hold as it plays out to its conclusion, by which time you've become so heavily invested in the characters the tension is palpable." - Killingtimecrime.com

"The Preacher holds its own among the the Scandi-crime competing for our attention, and is, I think, ahead of the pack when it comes to the quality of the prose and the subtlety of the themes." - Killingtimecrime.com
