Critics Review
A tour de force finale in a book which will sure be a bestseller this summer. It well deserves to be. - Independent on Sunday
This is one of Connolly’s darker, scarier novels, all the more effective for the way the supernatural elements arise organically out of the realistic detail - GuardianConnolly subtly combines the supernatural with the traditional crime story to superb effect. And in Herod, a man being eaten by cancer, he may have created his creepiest villain yet. - SunAnother creepy thriller from a modern master - Daily MirrorBrilliant, terrifying and effortlessly seductive, I defy anyone to put this thriller down - it is sensational. - Daily MailAs ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic. - IndependentHis latest plot is a clever mixture of quest and chase, written in prose that unfolds at warp speed - ObserverSupernatural thriller by Dublin’s finest. - Herald MagazineAbout The Author
