Critics Review

‘In the top rank of thriller writers’ – Jack Higgins ‘Stephen Leather should be nestling in your bookshelves alongside Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins’ – Daily Mail ‘A fine tale, brilliantly told’ – Oxford Times on THE DOUBLE TAP ‘Leather, a former journalist, can dispense high-adrenaline plotting but never at the expense of remembering that his characters are humans rather than Action Dolls.’ – Sunday Express ‘Reading Stephen Leather at leisure is always a pleasure.’ – Ireland on Sunday ‘Stephen Leather’s novel manages to put a contemporary spin on a timeless tale of revenge and retribution… Leather’s experience as a journalist brings a sturdy, gritty element to a tale of horror … which makes The Eyewitness a compelling read’ - Evening Herald, Dublin ‘As high-tech and as world-class as the thriller genre gets’ - Express on Sunday on The Bombmaker ‘A whirlwind of action, suspense and vivid excitement’ - Irish Times on The Birthday Girl ‘Exciting stuff with plenty of heart-palpitating action gingered up by mystery and intrigue … Leather is an intelligent thriller writer’ - Daily Mail on The Tunnel Rats
