The Shut Eye

[Belinda Bauer] is such an interesting writer - a restless intelligence that always goes its own way, but always comes up with something that feels both surprising but inevitable. * Lee Child *
The most polished crime writer on the murder beat … Exhausting, exhilarating and damn scary * Daily Express *
‘Belinda Bauer is a marvel. Her novels are almost indecently gripping and enjoyable, and The Shut Eye is possibly her best yet * Sophie Hannah *
One of the most individual of crime writers … Bauer is streets ahead of most of her rivals * Independent *
A twisty, fast-paced plot that kept me on tenterhooks * Woman & Home *
An intricate plot, extremely moving in some places - Bauer’s ability to get under the skins of her characters is second to none * Guardian *
So much more than an simple whodunit - a clever, sophisticated modern crime novel * Sunday Mirror *
[A] cracking psychological thriller * Good Housekeeping *
Belinda Bauer is disconcerting. She follows none of the usual formulae governing crime fiction, defies easy labelling and sees deeper than most into people’s emotions. * The Times *
Nobody scares me quite like Belinda Bauer * Sharon Bolton *
