What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Part of what makes MAPPING THE EDGE so compulsive to read is that it functions with real confidence and assurance on several levels. Two thrillers are interwoven with the gradually accumulating tension of those left behind, arousing complementary anxieties and exploring the darkness at the heart of Dunant’s characters’ INDEPENDENT
‘Dunant’s fiction is trade-marked with heroines who take chances and ignore risks. Not a whiff of political correctness; the rules they make or break are all their own. The subtext of the novel - how loyalties are strained, how relationships change - is every bit as important as the surface excitements. Dextrously done’ LITERARY REVIEW‘It is easy to see why Dunant chose the strategy of duelling stories - the missing, by their nature, invite multiple explanations. And she pulls off this difficult narrative trick with considerable technical skill, aided by a clean prose style and a deft hand for characterisation’ SUNDAY TIMES‘Its structure dovetails prfectly, making maximum use of all available ambiguities this is more than competent psychological thriller’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPHAbout The Author
