Gripping, intriguing and incredibly satisfying, this book confounds your expectations and keeps you guessing to the end

An intelligent, taut thriller which was beautifully written and compelling. I loved how the author played with the whole theme of life imitating art. Full of twists and turns I couldn't put it down. I thought the ending was perfect!

I adored Exhibit Alexandra. I thought it was a smart, original page turner which really brought something different to the thriller genre. It kept me up half the night!

Beautifully insidious, a novel that outwits expectation at every turn

A smart, confident thriller, Exhibit Alexandra asks searching questions about motherhood and identity, and keeps you guessing to the very last page. Natasha Bell writes thought-provokingly about home, love, belonging - and what else a woman might want from life

This smart, mirror maze of a thriller bristles with sharp edges, twisting familiar Gone Girl themes into Bell's own intense creation

I had such a range of emotions from curiosity mingled with dread and horror as I realised what was happening. An incredibly accomplished debut.

A taut and spellbinding look at creative darkness and the price we pay when art bleeds into real life. I couldn't put this book down!

A moody, gut-wrenching tale of domestic ennui, feminism, and identity, recommended for literary-thriller devotees and book groups

Although her account indicates that she is being held captive, this may be just another faked element in a text fascinatingly permeated by ambiguity . . . the entire novel could be an art project

Beautifully insidious, a novel that outwits expectation at every turn

Thought-provoking and stands out from the crowd

Neill writes with verve, honesty and breathtaking insight. Utterly unputdownable

Sometimes touching, sometimes shocking

A rollicking read that should not be picked up at bedtime, or you'll be done for in terms of a good night's sleep

Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before

Neill's plotting is beyond compare . . . an utterly absorbing account of deception and desire

I thoroughly enjoyed this brilliantly observed novel about a family in meltdown

Cracking

Contemporary issues are tackled here with both humour and realism, making for an engrossing read

The Hot List

A complex crime scene, a missing girl, a ticking clock: no one writes a more page-turning, gut-wrenching, edgy thriller. LOOK FOR ME is a page turner par excellence.

Terror, twists, and trepidation. Look for Me is a triple-salvo thriller.

So twisty, turning and grippy

It is insidiously unnerving in such a clever way . . . had me well and truly hooked!

Dark, unforgiving, suspenseful and thought-provoking

Campus novel satire and the high drama of a thriller combine in a fiendishly readable interrogation of the allure of violent fiction

One of the most believable heroines I've seen on the page in a long time. The final chapters deliver the heart-in-mouth genre denouement we’ve been waiting for

It is a beautifully written book, a masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain’s finest living crime novelist

The Long Drop is not just a success and a thrilling read in its own right, but a game-changer for the genre.

A relentlessly tense and exciting read, every page oozes menace and its core of truth makes it all the more unsettling.

Deliciously shadowy.

Dark, gritty and chilling, it is steeped in the atmosphere and mores of Glasgow in the 1950s

[An] extraordinary story of a 1950s Glasgow murder mystery.

The Long Drop is an extraordinarily unsettling, evocative and compelling novel

I’ve been a fan of Ms Mina for a while, but The Long Drop has to be my favourite. The writing is beautiful and more than once I found myself having to pause, just to take in the sheer elegance of the prose. It’s an absolute gem of a book.

[O]ne of crime fiction’s most acute observers of contemporary society.

A wonderfully punchy evocation of a legendary murder mystery, packed with the authentic sights, sounds and intrigues of Glasgow in the late Fifties.

[I] was gripped, impressed by her insight into the mind of a psychopath… A grim novel, but a very good one.

Mina's novels are engrossing, deeply rooted in reality and astutely perceptive about human nature

Powerful, passionate and compelling. Mina can chill your blood and break your heart in the same sentence

Why do Scottish writers dominate British crime fiction? With Denise Mina at least, the answer is pure class

Remarkable… It often seems as if Mina has freed herself from most of the strictures of the thriller format in order to explore altogether more literary territory. It is a pleasure to accompany her. The writing is frequently arresting

Charismatic, grimy masterpiece

Bleak and atmospheric

Deliciously dark and twisty, this is a page-turner from start to finish

If you like a touch of Stephen King mixed with British crime, then this is for you . . . this is a spooky read, but also holds its own as a police procedural novel

This flawless thriller will touch your heart and live long in your memory
