The Strawberry Picker

Eighteen-year-old Jenna is sharing a flat in Bröhl, Germany, with her friends Caro and Merle when a girl is killed nearby. The murder seems to have parallels with two other frightening crimes.

Then one day Caro is found murdered - stabbed seven times and with her necklace missing, just like the other girls. At the funeral Jenna swears revenge in front of everybody, and in turn attracts the attention of Nat, a handsome and mysterious strawberry picker. With Jenna sidetracked by love, Merle sets about solving Caro's murder herself. But as the answer dawns on her, another horrifying reality emerges.

Reviews

Another smashing read from the fabulous Chris Ryan. This book had me hooked from start to finish with its action-packed adventure

Great gung-ho stuff

—— Independent on Sunday

A brilliant story . . . fast-paced sensitive tale which ends with a surprising twist

—— Irish Times

This is a well-crafted, pacy thriller

—— Kathryn Ross , Scotsman

Insightful and entirely believable, this story is a gem

—— Booktrust

A compelling, compulsive, atmospheric story . . . The movie is already rolling in my head

—— Niall MacMonagle , Irish Times

Zips along at break-neck pace, each short, action-packed scene feeding into the next, ideal for teen readers with Playstation attention spans . . . McGann's direct, gritty style of writing certainly packs a punch

—— Sarah Webb , Irish Independent
