I read this hungrily ... Its intelligence and bravura characterization will have you turning page after page. A fabulous achievement.

A brilliantly clever thriller from a brilliantly clever writer.

Murray should be commended for going into the nitty-gritty of how his post-disaster society functions[…] What really distinguishes the book, though, is the creative energy of its world-building: it demonstrates the virtue of using the future as a playground for the imagination rather than trying to second-guess it.

A taut, thrilling runaround... The Last Day is an impressive dystopian techno-thriller. Murray paints a grim picture of a draconian isolationist Britain, with some vivid descriptions of a much-changed London, and the novel’s climax has a neat twist.

A brilliant debutwhich blends apocalyptic drama with a tale of espionage, keeping readers on tenterhooks […] Fans of Robert Harris will love it.

A stunningly original thriller set in the world of tomorrow that will make you think about what’s happening today.

A fresh take on the dystopian thriller, to say it’s gripping is an understatement - I cancelled all my weekend plans to finish it

[A]n atmosphere reminiscent of PD James’s dystopian classic The Children of Men and alternative history thrillers such as Len Deighton’s SS-GB. As with those novels, The Last Day investigates the “boiled frog” nature of totalitarianism, with Hunter Murray imagining what Britain succumbing to it would look and feel like. The result is a beautifully realised and thought provoking-thriller.

Dark, believable and brilliantly written

A thrilling page-turner, and a reminder to treasure our sunsets and sunrises while we still have them. I couldn’t put this book down!

[A]n intriguing and unusual set-up […] enthralling sci-fi world building.

In addition to masterfully painting a world on the brink of extinguishment […] Hunter Murray provides a top-notch plot that proves riveting until the very end.

An irresistible post-apocalyptic thriller.

A hugely atmospheric novelpowered by character rather than incident as Hopper is drawn deeper into a world she doesn’t understand… this has got a four part BBC Sunday night thriller written all over it.

Few of Harlan Coben’s thrillers are anything less than gripping, but every now and again he writes one that exceeds his own high standards.

Coben sets his hook deep very early on with a killer premise and then relentlessly reels in his readers as his deftly plotted tale ratchets up the tension and action to a violent, cathartic and ultimately satisfying climax. Each new novel is a textbook lesson in thriller writing’

I pretty much devoured this in one sitting, it being exactly the kind of entertaining and distracting fare that is needed now more than ever.

Coben is a phenomenon - the most reliable of American thriller-writers, the least likely to disappoint ... the true mystery is Coben's extraordinary capacity to keep writing such wonderful thrillers

A zippy, sometimes ambiguous and often thoughtful thriller.

One of the world’s finest thriller writers is at the very top of his game

The modern master of the hook and twist

Harlan’s new book The Boy From The Woods is another skillfully crafted example of his talent at work [...] a page-turning joy to return to.

A true master of the twisty thriller

The crafty Coben knows how to weave a compelling story with intriguing characters, and Wilde is one of his best […]The supporting characters also shine. Once the big reveal happens, it would be the end for most stories, but Coben has just gotten started. The narrative veers into such unexpected directions that even a true thriller aficionado will not see the multiple surprises the ending delivers. Coben's name on the book cover continues to mean quality.

The master of smoke and mirrors fiction

Exceptional story-telling, well drawn and vivid characterisation and a fast-paced and riveting plotline carry the reader along open mouthed as layer upon layer is peeled back to reveal the truth. I needed this diversion from grim reality and now feel much better for it. Highly recommended.

Coben’s USP is how families are torn apart by secrets. He is a clever plotter, too, always pulling the rug from under your feet.

Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end.

Coben can always be relied on to generate thrills from the simplest premises

Dramatic and tightly plotted.

Harlan Coben is a master at weaving compelling thrillers, but even by his high standards, The Boy From the Woods sounds like a haunting ride.

Harlan Coben rose to worldwide attention recently for his hit Netflix show The Stranger. Many of you would have already been familiar with his work prior to this. Harlan Coben’s back catalogue is very impressive. We’ve read pretty much every Harlan Coben novel and let us tell you, he never lets you down. If you’re looking for a meaty thriller which is equal parts surprising and well-written, look no further.

From the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger, Harlan Coben, The Boy from The Woods tells the story of Wilde, found thirty years ago in the New Jersey backwoods.

Coben's character creation is superb. Both Wilde and Hester are a joy to discover and each one of the supporting cast are equally well crafted […]The Boy From The Woods is a fabulous read, I devoured it. It's pacy and thrilling, filled with fabulous characters and a plot that is unrelenting. I now know just why Coben is at the top of his field. Highly recommended from me.

Twisty, packed with mystery and intrigue […] Now is the perfect time to read for escapism

Coben is the best-selling author behind the utterly compelling Netflix drama The Stranger, and his latest offering is equally potent […] A gloriously grisly page-turner with some excellent chicanes and twists.

This is another page turner from Coben who every time manages to pull the cat out of the bag and deliver an ending that isn't expected. Sublime.

Coben paints a rich, multi-layered picture of suburban life […] The story is involving, contemporary and Coben expertly peels back the layers with consummate skill to reveal an intricate and twisted tale that’s well worth the read[…] I highly recommend this terrifically unusual and well-paced thriller.

This moving and stylish book pulls off a difficult trick. It is an engaging, amusing tale, powered by Jai’s ebullient personality; at the same time it is an insightful portrait of the underside of 21st-century India… As Dickens did, Ms Anappara understands the power of fiction to bring alive the plights of people readers might otherwise overlook

What really sets Djinn Patrol apart…is the authenticity of Jai’s voice. Narrating in the first person, Anappara immerses us not only in Jai’s world of deep social inequities, but also in his internal world… Anappara creates an endearing and highly engaging narrator to navigate us through the dark underbelly of modern India
