A thrilling new talent
Dark, compelling and expertly paced . . . one of the best police procedurals I've read for a long time
Wow. I read this in less than a day. As many twists and turns as a rollercoaster! A fascinating lead character with a deliciously dark secret. It's the kind of writing which grabs you and won't let you go
Another creepily edgy case . . . Gripping suspense!
Mightily impressive . . . deviously plotted, with a bleak thread of intriguing twists
Praise for Mark Griffin:
Deftly plotted, propulsive, psychologically astute . . . totally horrifying
From the chilling opening to the frantic climax, suspend disbelief, climb on this roller coaster and hang onto your hats
Absolutely gripping . . . It reminded me of Thomas Harris - the same combination of terror and the detective pitting wits against a psychopath. I had to keep reading, while dreading what was coming next
Meticulously plotted and devious in its execution, Mark Griffin's debut novel is utterly compelling. I can't wait to read the rest of the Holly Wakefield series
Creepy, twisted and gripping
Truly frightening ... [a] malevolently scary story, a British Silence Of The Lambs
A must for all crime readers
