Sudden Times

Reviews

I love this book! It's hard, fast and tight and blasts through the London underworld like a speed boat on the Thames

—— Lee Child

Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!

—— Harlan Coben

The next time I see Simon Kernick's name on a book I will pick it up. Brilliant!

—— Richard Madeley

Kernick generates a potent cocktail of thrills that makes contemporary London feel like Dodge City. A knucklehead ride

—— Guardian

Simon Kernick writes great plots, great characters, great action

—— Lee Child

Simon Kernick uses every trick in the book to keep the action breakneck

—— Time Out

Twists and turns you never see coming... I am but one of a steadily growing group of loyal fans

—— KARIN SLAUGHTER

Liza Marklund is in a league of her own

—— HENNING MANKELL

Plenty of politics, high and low and the portrayal of college life and vicious, teeming with sycophants and thick with double dealing

—— Guardian

Pears brings to life a vibrant 17th-century world...a tour de force

—— Daily Telegraph

Crammed with period detail, it's as much a novel of ideas as it is of character

—— Val McDermid , The Week
