Schweizer Illustrierte, Zurich
\u201cWith convincing knowledge of locations, credible plot lines and solid command of knowledge, the writer depicts Josefa Rehmer`s life full of vicissitudes who finds herself entangled in a net of perceived friends. With the modern corporate world, Calonego opens a new field for the mystery novel.\u201d
Krimikritik Paul Ott\/Paul Lascaux
\u201cTo make it clear right away: With her first novel Nutze deine Feinde, Bernadette Calonego has created a crime story with an excellent plot.\u201d
S\u00fcdkurier, Germany
\u201cSubtly interwoven are the stories of revenge, greed and intrigues . . . the answer to the ultimate question appears eventually . . . how it has to be with a good thriller . . . in the last paragraph.\u201d
Rheinpfalz, Germany
\u201c\u2019The novel has wit, charm and quite a few side blows to the vanity and macho behaviour of certain males. So be it! I absorbed the read without any damage. On the contrary: I had a whale of a time!\u201d
Martin Limacher, online-quer.ch
\u201cA book with absolute star qualities!\u201d
In Style Magazine, German edition
\u201cIt turned out to be a crime story from Zurich that has really nothing to do with the clich\u00e9 of Swiss fussiness. It depicts in an authentic, relevant and fast manner the jet set scene and Big Business wheelings and dealings of the company elite.\u201d
