Critics Review
-
‘Elegant, absorbing, full of Hitchcockian menace. Once again Finn reinvents the genre in spectacular style’ Lucy Foley
‘A. J. Finn’s new novel is beautiful, intense, beguiling. I was mesmerized by End of Story’ Lisa Jewell
‘Fans of detective fiction will be thrilled by Finn’s latest!’ Shari Lapena
'End of Story is a masterpiece. Brilliantly plotted by a master craftsman who parries words like an Olympian fencer. This is a book for smart people and I must admit that I did not guess the crux of the matter until the same millisecond it was revealed. Normally I know by page 5. It is a vastly superior thriller leaving this reader on the edge of her seat, sleepless and drained, yet charged by the pull of the story to keep reading. A relentless roller coaster ride around the pacific coast drawn so vividly that I was immersed in the story immediately. I absolutely loved it.' Liz Nugent
‘A stiletto-sharp sliver of California gothic, full of San Francisco fog and dark dusty rooms, as a crime writer’s long-hidden secrets slowly emerge into the dazzling light. This is a perfectly crafted mystery, written with a Hitchcock flair for atmosphere and suspense’ Jane Casey
‘Incisive, absorbing, stylish, and sparkling with quick wit, End of Story is a mystery-lover’s delight’ Nita Prose
‘A.J. Finn has done it again. End of Story is a dark, beautifully constructed thriller about a familiy and its secrets where nobody is quite what they seem. A story that draws you in, takes your breath away and, in the end, breaks your heart’ Nicci French
‘A bedazzling, beautiful, masterful mystery. A classic, yet wildly original, End of Story is delightfully devious, hugely fun, and murderously unpredictable’ Chris Whitaker
'A thrillingly Gothic golden age mystery to lose yourself in’ Jenny Colgan
‘Creepy, dark and full of twists – everything a thriller should be’ Sun
‘The plot pleasurably wrongfoots the reader' Financial Times
