Snap

The best crime novel I’ve read in a very long time. * Val McDermid *Snap is the best kind of crime novel - it gives you chills, it makes you think, and it touches your heart. I loved it! * Sarah Pinborough, No. 1 bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES *Original, pacy and thoroughly entertaining … a cracking read. * Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of I LET YOU GO *If you loved Steven Lamb in Bauer’s debut Blacklands you will love Jack Bright in Snap. No one writes crime novels like Belinda Bauer, with such a rare blend of darkness, humour and heart. She’s a crime writing genius and no mistake – C.L TaylorIntelligent entertainment that keeps you guessing * Sunday Times Crime Club *Spine-chilling, tension-packed gripper * Woman and Home *Belinda Bauer is one of the very few really original crime writers of our time … The plot is neat and clever, but it is not the stories, the style or the characters alone - though all are good - that set Bauer’s work apart. It is an indefinable extra ingredient that makes some books stand out from the crowd. This is one of them. * Literary Review *Is there a current writer in the genre who can be guaranteed never to repeat themselves - and who comes up with an original premise for each new book? Yes there is - and it is the highly individual Belinda Bauer. Snap, her latest novel, continues this pleasing trajectory … Bauer (as ever) is very much her own woman, and produces something that exerts a considerable grip on the reader. * Crime Time *Edgy, original and beautifully written, this suspenseful story is dazzlingly good. * Sunday Mirror *Belinda Bauer’s plots are never anything less than original and unsettling, and her latest outing is no exception. * Sunday Times *
