Darkside

An extraordinary piece of writing… * Sunday Times (Culture) *Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller * Daily Mirror *Bauer takes astonishing risks but - like a brilliant ski-jumper - arcs down to the perfect landing * Independent *She can do tragic brilliantly and she can do grim, but every now and then humour breaks into the tale - and she does that almost best of all * Guardian *I would press this one on anyone who loves Kate Atkinson, Bauer really is that good – ALICE O’KEEFFE * Bookseller *Outstandingly good * Literary Review *Bold, mordant, compassionate, Darkside confirms Bauer’s reputation as a significant new talent * Sunday Times *Well-written, involving and chilling * Choice Magazine *Tense triumph… Bauer defies all expectations and does it again with a book that piles on the tension while remaining credible. It says something about the author that this novel can sit happily next to some of the more hard-boiled heavyweights * Shortlist *Belinda Bauer is the most disturbing new talent around – VAL MCDERMID
