Praise:
Lenin Park is a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the work of the police, into its hierarchy, where many things can, dictated by political will, get stuck in a drawer. It is also a portrait of “the most beautiful city in the world” and some of its inevitably estranged and quirky residents.
-- Matej Bogataj, Mladina
We finally have a Slovene crime series that the reader holds on to till the very last letter. And when the murderer acts on locations familiar to us from our everyday lives, and the circumstances surrounding the murder are so close to actual reporting from the evening news, it might just be wise to take the occasional glance across your shoulder when walking around town alone at night.
-- Nina Kožar, Knjigobežnice
With The Lake and his hero Taras Birsa, Tadej Golob finally claimed the crime novel for Slovene popular fiction, bringing it (also through the TV series) into every Slovene home. With Lenin Park he gave it unimaginable acceleration, finally making people once again eagerly await new Slovene books.
-- Samo Rugelj, Bukla
