The unrivalled master of Maine noir. Menace has never been so seductive. - Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian

As John Connolly plunges ever deeper into the underworld of the damned, the reader, with eyes of slits, must cling on for this brilliantly terrifying ride. - Irish Times

What makes Parker intriguing is precisely that, though a crusader against evil, he has a dark side: he is haunted by the past, his capacity for violence and guilt. - Telegraph Magazine

Connolly’s achievement is a literary thriller, charged with menace from beginning to end, taut as it is terrifying. - Live Wire

John Connolly knows how to get you to check the lock on your door before you put the lights out and again before you get into bed. - r?-ra

Arachnophobes should give this novel a wide berth - Evening Standard

Connolly has become the leading commentator on Maine’s morbidity - Times Play

Connolly’s characters have substance beyond vehicles for horror, and this is what puts him ahead in a crowded genre race - What’s On (Amazon Books)
