Critics Review

Praise for RAGDOLL by Daniel Cole, the quality, rocket-paced thriller for readers of Jo Nesbo:
RAGDOLL is utterly addictive with brilliant characters and a killer twist you will never see coming – the best debut I’ve ever read.

Rachel Abbott, Number One bestselling author

Give an arm or a leg to get hold of a copy… An exciting thriller.

Linwood Barclay

A star is born. Killer plot. Killer pace. Twisted killer and a killer twist. Kill to get a copy.

Simon Toyne, bestselling author of SOLOMON CREED

A brilliant, breathless thriller. If you liked Se7en, you’ll love this!

M.J. Arlidge, author of HIDE AND SEEK

A gruesome delight! Daniel Cole’s thriller RAGDOLL, in which gritty detective William “Wolf” Fawkes comes upon a single corpse stitched together out of six bodies, had me flipping pages furiously. It’s an impressive debut, dark, propulsive, and surprisingly funny.

Gregg Hurwitz, bestselling author of ORPHAN X

Six corpses in one – and that’s just the beginning! Don’t expect any let-up in this chilling ride-along with a serial killer more devious and warped than you could ever imagine.

David Jackson, Number One bestselling author

Gruesome, twisty and wildly addictive…I couldn’t put RAGDOLL down.

Lisa Hall, author of TELL ME NO LIES

A smorgasbord of flawed characters, an unrelenting pace and a perfect balance of gore and wit. RAGDOLL is a corker of a debut and Cole is sure to be a brilliant and accomplished new voice for crime readers to devour.

Ali Land, author of GOOD ME, BAD ME

RAGDOLL is a fiendishly inventive serial killer mystery wrapped around a compelling new protagonist. I can’t wait to see what Daniel Cole does next.

Mason Cross, author of THE TIME TO KILL

A first class, dark thriller.

Emlyn Rees

I loved RAGDOLL. A rip-roaring, inventive and riveting read.

Jill Mansell, author of MEET ME AT BEACHCOMBER BAY

Daniel Cole’s RAGDOLL is a bold first step in what is liable to be a spectacular career. Disturbing, taut and compelling, this book took me down the rabbit hole as only the best of thrillers can. Bravo, Mr. Cole.

John Hart, author of REDEMPTION ROAD

Terrifyingly brilliant. I dare you to turn the lights out after reading!

Robert Bryndza, author of DARK WATER

RAGDOLL kept me enthralled from its startling opening to its tense finale. Superb thriller writing.

Peter Robinson, author of WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER

RAGDOLL is such a good read – with kick-ass characters and a cleverly executed, action packed plot, it’s like a police procedural Die Hard.

Mel Sherratt, author of DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU

highly anticipated debut that is surely bidding to be the year’s most gruesome thriller.
