Claustrophobic, erotic, voyeuristic, Mirror, Mirror is a disturbing, highly sophisticated debut

Alvarez's powerful and authentic debut follows in the footsteps of Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith, resulting in a beautifully weighted, disturbing and sophisticated first novel

Stylish…an American Psycho for women

A cracking thriller

The present and the long-ago past collide [as] three young historians whisk themselves back to fourteenth-century feudal France to rescue a friend - and engulf themselves in all manner of mind-blowing intrigue

[A] big rollicking book

Exciting ... classic adventure ... [a] swashbuckling novel ... Crichton delivers

An unusually political novel, this is as gripping and readable as any in the Reacher series.

It's a testament to Lee Child's superb story-telling skills that...the interest doesn't flag for an instant...Like Reacher, Child doesn't do things by halves.

Gripping and addictive...Reacher's stripped-down life is echoed by Lee Child's lean and spare prose.

One of the genre's most enduring heroes. Tough, solitary, righteous and incorruptible, [Reacher] harks back to another great fictional detective, Philip Marlowe.

A new Jack Reacher novel arrives as the year's first red-hot beach book...the success of these books rests partly on the big, hulking shoulders of their charismatic hero...one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape.

This haunting, stand-alone novel is a subtler work than Child's previous output and offers a sensitively handled romantic sub-plot to boot.
