With sharp dialogue, inventively gruesome violence and the darkest of dark humor, Lehane's fifth novel proves again that he's the hippest heir of Hammett and Chandler

A masterpiece. Stunning. Brilliant. Mesmerizing. Satisfying. All that and so much more... Steal this book if that's the only way you can get your hands on it

Lehane's gritty psychothrillers have carved a distinctive patch on the map of contemporary crime writing... One of the most electrifying thriller writers

The well-oiled plot mechanics, edge-of-the-knife dialogue and explosive bursts of violence are polished and primed in this hard-boiled shocker

'The wittiest of detective writers'

Death in the Stocks is that rare and refreshing thing - a clever problem stated, developed and finally solved in terms of character

Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel

First-rate thriller, with the imperturbable Reacher meting out his brand of justice to the villains

An unflinching suspense thriller . . . Blindsighted is a promising debut, and Karin Slaughter is a novelist to watch

Terrifying...rarely have the mechanics of suspense been so efficiently utilised outside a Hitchcock movie

Original, moving and entertaining for adults as well as for older children

A deservedly acclaimed read.

'Haddon's book is a peculiar thing - a kind of James Joyce for kids - but a genre-busting gem, nevertheless'

'Engaging, warm, humorous and poignant at the same time'

'This book is amazing . . . A must read'
