Christian Jungerson’s novel The Exception [ISBN 978 0 7538 2166 4] is a seriously clever book, psychologically powerful and quite unnerving. On the surface its about relationships in a small office, but it develops and grows in sheer nastiness and underhand dangerous games. It is gripping and addictive.

Four women and their boss work at the Danish centre for Genocide information. Two of them receive death threats and it is thought that two Serbian war criminals are behind this. But as time goes on, perhaps, they think, its not. It could be someone working among them. As they become more uncomfortable they begin to think it could be any of them, and relationships become more and more stressed – and more and more cruel to each other.
