Such an intriguing, compelling novel. Impossible to put down and irresistibly good

Sucked me in from the first page. The characters were intriguing, the plot thrilling and the writing effortless. It has been a long time since a book engaged me like this. I will be telling everyone I know to read this book

What starts as an intricate, multi-narrator domestic drama slowly reveals its secrets to become something much darker indeed

An utterly compelling psychological suspense novel about ambition, revenge and family. The characters are complex and real, and I became so immersed in their worlds that I read the last two hundred pages in one sitting. With echoes of both Liane Moriarty and Charity Norman, I was fascinated by B.M. Carroll's dissection of two families pushed to breaking point. A completely gripping and emotional page-turner

Very well written and suspenseful with characters to believe in; it was deeply psychological and I thoroughly enjoyed it

Praise for B M Carroll

A cast of warm, engaging characters in a sparkling story that crosses the globe between Ireland and Australia. I enjoyed every page of this touching, authentic novel

A clever eye for characterisation and story

With all the humour and empathy of Binchy, Carroll captures the conflicts and compromises women make

Sheer genius ... The narrative is hilarious and full of Holmesian clues and deliberate errors which will leave the eagle-eyed reader feeling just a bit smug. A joy from start to finish

Superb ... Fans of traditional puzzle mysteries will be enthralled.

…pure pleasure for readers. Show-business in-jokes, patches of literary parody and a vicious police-department rivalry all coalesce to make The Sentence Is Death a must-read delight.

Succeeds on all levels ... Horowitz has the Midas touch

This mystery is a worthy and witty follow-up to last year's best-seller The Word Is Murder ... brilliant and enigmatic

No one currently working the field has anywhere near this much ingenuity to burn

As convincing as it was gripping, a fabulous debut thriller.

This strong debut features two very different teenage girls, both trying to make sense of their lives…
Barber skilfully evokes their contrasting worlds and blundering steps towards the truth.

A fast paced and interesting exploration of the lives of two teenagers in very different circumstances. A gripping read… thoroughly enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed My Name is Anna from the outset, my attention was grabbed by the intriguing prologue and beautiful prose. Lizzy Barber manages to balance a compelling narrative with excellent attention to detail and exquisite descriptions.
