Critics Review

Deaver is a terrific storyteller, and he takes the reader on a rollercaoster of suspense, violence and mystery … Good entertainment - Susanna Yager, Daily Telegraph

Jeffery Deaver’s fiendish new suspense thriller … Amazing as it sounds, Deaver makes the intellectual puzzle the most thrilling part of his high-anxiety drama, which twists, turns and leaves us weak - The New York Times Book Review

Principal characters unusually vivid and sympathetic…. Rapidly paced, wholly engrossing tale - Publisher’s Weekly

A truly engrossing thriller. Psychological thriller writers do not come much better than Deaver. His cogent plotting, smooth characterisation and (best of all) psychological profiling of his villains is all nonpareil - The Times Crime Supplement
