Jam-packed with tricks… A book length scavenger hunt that Mr Brown creates so energetically

'Another excellent gritty, fast paced thriller from Simon Kernick featuring Tina Boyd.

Full of unsolved mysteries and suspense. It is one of those rare fictions that defies categorisation, creating a milieu that is a recognisable version of the real world but inflected with its author's preoccupations...contains startling moments of truth, and its insights into human nature are simply superb

The good news, of course, is that here is another Jackson Brodie thriller from the brilliant Kate Atkinson. The even better news is that . . . it's the most enthralling to date

Another faultless display by Kate Atkinson . . . Like the other titles in the Jackson Brodie series, this one plays with the tenets of the crime genre without ever sacrificing the essence of wit and nuance which make Atkinson's novels such jubilant reads

In this gripping new thriller by Kate Atkinson we are plunged into the heart of darkness . . . Suspense is tinglingly maintained throughout . . . shot through with wry wit and gritty realism

One of those writers who effortlessly bridges the gap between commercial and literary fiction

Deliciously underhanded, echo-filled novel...so rewarding...it shows off an imagination so active that When Will There Be Good News? can barely contain it

Uncategorizable, unputdownable, Atkinson's books are like Agatha Christie mysteries that have burst at the seams-they're taut and intricate but also messy and funny and full of life

Heralds the welcome return of Jackson Brodie . . . a brilliantly observed drama on the nature of fate, love and memory

I love Kate's writing...a fantastic detective mystery

A masterclass in plot daring, an extended riff on coincidence, and a piercing evocation of love and loss in many forms. One of the fiercest, funniest, most affecting reads of the year

The opening chapter of Kate Atkinson's latest book is one of the finest pieces of suspense literature you will read this year . . . addictive . . . Atkinson is back at her best

There couldn’t be a more perfect summer read than this elegant, atmospheric, suspenseful novel

Curtain Call is a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss

Harrowing suspense. The Bear is a survival thriller that is told from a child's-eye point-of-view, which is not only convincing but doubles the tension. A heartbreaking, white-knuckle read

Thrilling and harrowing…. I couldn’t put this book down. And I must say that the ending was so right, I caught myself holding my breath. A remarkable novel

Just when you thought it was safe to go into the forest... This expertly crafted novel could do for camping what Jaws did for swimming

A gripping tale of how to deal with grief and being lost in a hostile environment

Subtle, endearing and raw

Based on real-life events, this book is unforgettable

A tender, terrifying, poignant ride
