The Collector

Critics Review

• One of the most atmospheric novels you will ever encounter – you will feel the sea air in your lungs and the terror in your dreams. A crime novel of the very first order

  David Baldacci, author of The 6:20 Man and The Edge

• Trust me – Cummins is a keeper

  Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series

• A riveting read that will keep you up at night

  Hello!

• Rattle was one of the most chilling and gripping thrillers released last year. The Collector [. . .] is even more creepy and unsettling with tension slowly ramped up to build to a sensational finale that will make you gasp

  Daily Express

• Cummins has a gift for imbuing the everyday with menace. Despite the picture-postcard coastal setting, the seam of evil that runs through this story is totally convincing

  Sunday Mirror

• If you haven’t read Fiona Cummins and you’re a Mo Hayder fan, make sure you read her first book and then her second. With the lights on

  Emma Flint, author of Other Women

• Totally, totally brilliant. Even more twisted than the first one. A whole other level of serial killer awesome

  Lisa Hall, author of The Day She Disappeared

• Spine-chilling and brilliant, beautifully written, creepily clever and utterly absorbing – just like Rattle

  Karen Hamilton, author of The Contest

• Chilling, superbly constructed, taut, evocative, her prose sings as she holds you tight in her grip and relentlessly ratchets up the tension. Compelling

  Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal

• The Collector is sensational. Fiona Cummins is a twisted genius writing with a silver pen. This is crime at its grisly and glorious best

  Amanda Jennings, author of The Haven

• Every bit as compelling as Rattle, with a dark, suspenseful plotline that had me holding my breath. The characters are so well drawn: the Collector himself is terrifying and the vulnerability of his victims really draws the reader in, making you yearn for justice and wonder how the nightmare will ever end . . . Brilliant, scary, creepy read

  Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You

• An excellent read

  Martina Cole, author of Loyalty, on Rattle

• It’s a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition

  Val McDermid, author of Past Lying and A Place of Execution, on Rattle

• Made a paranoid hypochondriac for a few days!

  Sophie Hannah on Rattle

• Dark, stylish and scarily plausible

  Joseph Knox on Rattle

• Seriously creepy and very well written. One that’ll have you double-checking your doors are locked at night

  Ali Land on Rattle

• A creepy crime debut with shades of The Babadook about it . . . I think it will be huge

  Sarah Hilary on Rattle
