Highly original and very good indeed...a delightful double act, crunchy dialogue, strong action scenes and provocative historical aperçus.

Complex and compelling

Goddard writes amazing novels of mystery/suspense. His new one is magical and the title is simply the best

Scary...culminates in a nail-biting episode with overtones of The Day of the Jackal

Norway's finest crime writer... Nesbo clearly demonstrates his skill at executing expertly-crafted, well-paced thrillers that he sustains to the very end in a compelling fashion. As first novels go, The Redbreast and The Devil's Star are as accomplished as any reader is likely to experience

Exciting, witty, melancholy and thought-provoking

A complicated story of passion, lost love, betrayal and murder

It requires some skilled plotting, but Nesbø brings it off, and Harry, with his quirky sense of humour, is a likeable hero despite his many flaws

Jo Nesbo has the skill to blend intriguing mysteries with genuine emotion

Adams disguises a social-history lesson on women's rights as a gripping period drama and we're here for it

A fabulous, page-turning novel that kept me gripped. Bringing together murder, convicts and patchwork quilting - all aboard a ship bound for Australia - it's impossible not to become engaged with these women and their individual plights - especially once everyone becomes a suspect

A ship of convict women - all with their secrets - on the way to a new life in a new land, but facing danger all the way - this is a locked room mystery to end all locked room mysteries!

A fine story of suspense, sisterhood and society, reflecting the harshness of women's lives and their desperation to survive in a world that has scant regard for their wellbeing

A page-turning murder mystery and a richly-drawn tale of women caught up in a male-dominated world, hoping for a better life. Descriptions of the poorer class of women in Victorian England are moving and evocative, the period details terrifically well-researched.

Combines historical fiction with tremendously gripping entertainment. Who on a ship of convicted women sailing from London to Tasmania is a murderer?

A truly engrossing historical 'locked room' thriller

It's a fantastically exciting story, and a wonderful novel. There is so much more going on, on the Rajah, in this unity of women, than a simple love story

Transforms an actual 19th-century sea voyage of female convicts into a striking drama. The ship's young matron chooses a group to sew a presentation quilt, but near their destination, someone stabs one of the quilters. Evocative sketches of those on board reveal the realities of poor women's lives - readers will be rewarded

A murder mystery with a great twist at the end . . . Gripping

Dangerous Women is a successful blend of two genres: a historical novel, inspired by real events, and a murder mystery with a great twist at the end. By the time I was halfway through I was completely gripped, and couldn't put it down

An enthralling narrative . . . lays bare the painful lives of these women, far from their homes and loved ones, and feeling the brutal weight of the law

Intriguing . . . [Hope Adams] can stitch a great story

A game-changer. What an amazing book

Brilliant. A genre defining book. So clever. It's going to be huge

Full of originality, this is a memorable thriller that will stay with readers long after the last page
