The 22 Murders Of Madison May

With unrelenting tension, Max Barry weaves a complex tapestry where a sociopath’s insatiable obsession knows no bounds, not even time and space, and only two things are certain - he will kill her again because he’s killed her before. I devoured this novel in one sitting * J.D. Barker, author of A Caller’s Game *
Original, intelligent, unputdownable * The Guardian *
Gripping … this is the sort of tricksiness Barry was put on Earth for * The Times *
A very enjoyable thriller with a very satisfying ending * Mystery and Suspense Magazine *
There are the familiar dislocations and dilemmas of a quest that flings its characters across separate but related realities, but these are seasoned with the wit, menace and pacy excitement of a nicely controlled, neatly structured crime thriller * ParSec Magazine *
Barry strives to paint equally compelling portraits of the two women and comes pretty darn close. Each character assumes a fully rounded and weighty resonance … Dynamic, suspenseful action with a light frosting of metaphysics * Washington Post *
Mr. Barry avoids the obvious sci-fi option of thinking up lots of exciting worlds, and takes the grittier route of imagining intrusions into the underbelly of this one … Unnerving. He navigates the multiverse and the concepts of string theory and chaos theory with frightening conviction. Let’s hope he just made it all up * Wall Street Journal *
Sci-fi wizard Barry sets a serial killer loose in the multiverse with mind-bending results * People *
Beware Max Barry. Once his story grabs hold, you will forget to eat, sleep, and bathe until you’re left with the world’s worst book hangover. An exhilarating rocket shot of a thriller tempered with Barry’s trademark wit and warmth * David Yoon, author of Version Zero and Frankly in Love *
