What They're Saying
Critics Review
Remarkably assured and atmospheric crime novel … each successive Connolly novel has grown in authority and skill… Crime, horror and the supernatural are blended in a queasy mix that often has an almost physical impact on the reader. - Sunday Express
Bad Men is thoughtful, dark and absolutely addictive - Irish TimesJohn Connolly writes like an angel, but about evil men and their diabolical deeds… Written with some style and by a man completely at ease with his work, Bad Men is probably John Connolly’s best novel yet. It is five-star chill with enough menace to keep the pages turning well into the wee small hours. - Irish TimesWill the film version be directed by John Carpenter or Quentin Tarantino? … Connolly spins his gruesome yarn with relish - Mail on SundayA unique blend of crime and horror - Crime TimeIn the crowded killing fields of crime fiction, John Connolly has quickly and decisively established himself as a unique voice. With BAD MEN he does it again, giving us a powerful story that is dark, daring and original. This one is his best. - Michael ConnellyThink Thomas Harris by way of Stephen King: haunting, compelling, but not for the faint of heart. - Publishers WeeklyConnolly writes like a poet … A stylish darkness sucks you under. - Kirkus ReviewsAbout The Author
