Critics Review
-
A really excellent suspense novelist
Stephen King.
-
After the award-winning Brigade Criminelle trilogy of Irene, Alex and Camille, the French author returns with a deliciously dark tale of obsession, betrayal and revenge.
Daily Express
-
A scorching, serpentine novel . . . Lemaitre's skill with suspense shines from every page, supported at every turn by an elegantly constructed plot complete with elements of noir that would make even James Ellroy proud.
Daily Mail.
-
Absorbing and disturbing . . . the Psycho-based denouement is extraordinary.
The Times.
