Overview Min venn, Alice

Jessie and Alice have been inseparable for as long as they can remember, sharing a consuming interest in True Crime cases.
When Alice becomes obsessed with an unsolved disappearance case from the 90s – The Sleeping Baby Case – Jessie finds that her friendship with Alice becomes more and more threatening.
Alice is very dominant, and Jessie finds it challenging to maintain a normal life.

Can Alice be trusted and is she the friend Jessie thinks she is?

My Friend Alice is a psychological thriller exploring disturbed human minds and the fatal consequences of them. The storytelling is visual and captivating, and it will for sure make you question yourself along the way.

The pieces of the puzzle in this psychological thriller fits perfectly together in the end.
5/6 stars - Adresseavisa

In the run-of-the-mill spring of Norwegian crime fiction, Mally Marlene emerges as a breath of fresh air, infused with a mix of lewd sexuality and Freudian terror. This psychological thriller is a demonstration of power.
6/6 stars – NRK

I won’t be surprised if this novel, in a revised form, becomes the basis for a movie or a TV series.
