Zeh's award-winning thriller climaxes with a scene of splendid drama

Deftly translated by John Cullen... Zeh plays with our expectations throughout... Like The Method, this is a story about obsession – this time with status, looks, and celebrity culture

Erotic intrigue, deep-sea diving and clients from hell make for a lively mix...The gathering suspense is complemented by nuanced characterization in a pleasingly unpredictable work

I hope Vintage will keep on bringing them out - she's just such an interesting writer

Filled with marvellously memorable characters... Sure to delight any fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers

A macabre, theatrical thriller that gripped me with every twist

A gripping debut ... D.I. Helen Grace is a flawed but winning heroine ... and, boy, the pages fly by

A fast-paced, twisting police procedural and thriller that's sure to become another bestseller

Smith Henderson's prose is an utter joy to read. An intricate novel with an echo of Céline. A great accomplishment. An extraordinary debut.

A terrific debut novel, packed full of bracing scenes and sentences that stick in the mind long after the last page. It barely seems credible that this is Smith Henderson's first book.

Zings with an immediacy that makes you feel like you’re right there … Henderson, a former social worker and prison guard, hails from Montana, so it’s no surprise he can do it justice.

Listen out for echoes of Richards Russo and Ford as Henderson powers his way to an abruptly devastating ending.

Striking early scenes show why Henderson has his illustrious admirers.

A worthy contender for the title of a great American novel. With its magisterial scope and emotionally rich storytelling, this literary tour-de-force captivated and, at few points, grounded me to dust with its sheer brilliance. It is one of the books that will always keep bouncing around my head and one around which many readers will redefine their life. I can't recommend it enough.

A triumphant thriller worthy of Bond’s creator Ian Fleming.

I found myself wondering if Boyd had outdone Fleming.

[Boyd is] an ideal writer of James Bond novels, and this one, his first, is very good

Perfectly judged homage

A brand new James Bond adventure combining all the glamour and excitement of Fleming’s original novels with the masterful storytelling of William Boyd

A very good piece of literary ventriloquism, with a great baddie

Fleming’s James Bond lives again in this perfectly judged homage
