Critics Review
With ingenuity and deft plotting, this accomplished page-turner moves inexorably towards a shocking conclusion
A leading writer of psychological suspense … As ever, Hannah excels. Her books are so distinctive that they deserve to be placed in a separate sub-genre of their own. - Spectator
[Hannah] confirms in this, her eighth novel, her fluent writing skills, taste for complicated layers and deft hand with character, not to mention a knack for producing compelling openings … [THE CARRIER] is the kind of puzzle Agatha Christie might have created. Delicate, with ever-increasing dread, it is a mature work - full of confidence and intrigue. - Daily MailAbsorbing, intricate … Here the rewarding bonuses are poetry’s role in the plot and a playful reworking of the Agatha Christie formula … THE CARRIER is a vicarage whodunit as as well as a psychological thriller. - Sunday TimesA labyrinth of a psychological thriller … Hannah is masterly at leading the reader down the wrong path and here she excels once again. - Sunday ExpressHighly original … Hannah has once again ripped up the industry-standard ‘A to Z of Writing a Whodunnit’ and audaciously charted her own course … to produce a novel that is a classy, compulsive and chilling literary triumph - Irish IndependentSuch is the author’s command of narrative, we find ourselves glued to the page. We remain hooked throughout this compelling novel. - Daily ExpressOur favourite writer of psychological crime thrillers is back with perhaps her most ambitious novel yet … Here’s another massively intriguing premise from Hannah, with plot threads that spin out in all kinds of unusual and surprising directions … A hugely confident, beautifully written and bold mystery. Another gripping triumph. - HeatBlissfully intricate … As usual I tried to guess the solution, failed utterly and decided simply to enjoy the white-knuckle ride; this is a writer who gets right into the heads of her characters. - SagaAbout The Author
