A mesmerising study of the psycho-sexual obsession . . . extraordinarily well written

One of those rare, brilliantly written books you want to press on other people

A wonderful tale of ambition, insanity, passion and deceit

A unique voice in American crime writing

The outstanding crime writer of his generation

I wouldn't be scared with Jack Reacher by my side... Reacher is the kind of guy you want in your corner when things get nasty. He's a maverick who plays by his own rules as he drifts from town to town... And yes, there are so many guns and so much blood and antler-locking that it's a little bit embarrassing to admit to liking the books. But I'm not the only woman I know who does

Lee Child is on brilliant form in The Affair... for sheer page-turning ability it's unbeatable

Plenty of action... much more of a whodunit than anything Lee Child has previously written... The gripping plot and breathtaking violence ensure it is difficult to put down
