Critics Review
The Twelve is the best first novel I’ve read in years. It crackles. It grabs you by the throat. This is some guy to watch out for in a dark alley
The Twelve is the best first novel I’ve read in years. It crackles. It grabs you by the throat. This is some guy to watch out for in a dark alley – James Ellroy
Stunning… Awesomely powerful, fabulously written and with a hero who is also a villain that you cannot help sympathising with, this novel is simply unmissable * Daily Mail *
A brilliant thriller: unbearably tense, stomach-churningly frightening * Observer *
As astonishing debut. Brilliantly conceived, masterfully written; both a heart-pounding thriller and a stunning examination of responsibility and revenge – Jeff Abbott
A blistering debut * Metro *
A page-turning thriller akin to a collaboration between John Connolly and Stephen King… The Twelve is a superb thriller, and one of the first great post-Troubles novels to emerge from Northern Ireland * Sunday Independent *
The Twelve is a fast-paced, gripping, darkly enjoyable thriller * Times Literary Supplement *
It’ll knock you sideways. This guy can write * Guardian *
A gripping, original thriller * Sunday Times *
