“You can call me Jan” is a masterfully written thriller that draws you deeper and deeper into the heroine’s dark world. The clinic with the disappearing patients is a perfectly chosen setting that plays on our fears. The tension increases with every page, I simply couldn’t stop reading. The author is incredibly talented, she knows exactly which word has which effect. And she has written one of the best plot twists I have ever read.

You Can Call Me Jan is exquisitely chilling reading. It is within it’s apparent normality that the eeriness lies, which Elvedal conveys so incredibly well. This novel about the labyrinth of minds is so captivating that I became scared, in broad daylight, when I read it for the second time. The fact that ‘You Can Call Me Jan’ is Anne Elvedal’s first thriller novel for adults is almost unbelievable.
