Recenzii
Reads like true crime, but it is, in fact, very dark fiction... A tour de force with two superb dramatic twists
Reminiscent of Mo Hayder at her darkest
This dark, twisted thriller will keep you gripped until a finale that will leave you reeling. Breathtakingly good
A clever and powerfully plotted, terror-inducing, propulsive read with a haunting presence that lingers long after the last page
If you're a fan of Thomas Harris you must read this... A mind-blowing read
Complex and bloody
It's no surprise to discover that Ashkanani was turned on to crime fiction by Robert Harris's Red Dragon: there's a similar sense here of an author compelled to probe parts of the psyche others would prefer to leave alone... With a novel as confident, chilling and audacious as this, it won't go unnoticed
With a daring premise and plenty of twists and turns, this one might just keep you all up night
Fast-moving and compelling, and walks that tightrope between twisted and twisty with skilful aplomb
The best book I've read all year. Dark, twisty, gripping and full of pathos... A story delivered in prose as smooth as honey. If you're a fan of John Connolly you're going to love this
Lean, taut, gripping and bloody
The Midnight King is everything you want in a thriller. Dark, unpredictable, compelling, twisted and brilliant
A chilling story that delivers a cascade of demon twists by steely stealth. Leave your expectations aside and immerse yourself in The Midnight King... once you do, I guarantee this book will not let you go without a fight. A sure-fire shocker
Written in darkly electric prose, The Midnight King is a multi-layered serial killer novel that whips the reader back and forth like a bandsaw. A brutal and demanding read
A twisty and twisted thriller that will worm its way into your mind
One of the best novels I've read in a long time. Incredibly dark (an understatement), atmospheric, and utterly gripping
An absolutely brilliant read and dark as hell. A deadly game of cat and mouse but not the one you might expect. Sinister, sly, and beautifully tense
Best serial killer thriller I've read in ages. Incredibly dark and violent and not for the faint of heart
An insane ride through dark minds, a shocking serial killer thriller, laced with tension and expertly woven by a skilled storyteller
This has it all - twists, turns and layers of darkness that deepen with every page. It's beautiful and bleak at the same time, with such a fantastic tale at the heart of it all. Evocative of Thomas Harris. Stunning
Stunningly dark and utterly brutal, The Midnight King immerses the reader in the world of a serial killer and the family depending on him. As truth and fiction blur, the ripples of violence spread far beyond the killer's victims, with devastating consequences. A brilliant and unsettling read
Breathlessly compelling, blunt and brutal, The Midnight King confirms Ashkanani as a bright star in the world of serial killer thrillers
The best book I've read about a serial killer since Red Dragon... I will be thinking about it for a long time
A masterful book - intricate, brooding and artful, utterly transporting. A diabolical recipe of pitch-black plot, viciously incisive character and absolute heartbreak. I loved it
A masterpiece with shades of Stephen King and Thomas Harris
Delivered in sharp, hard-boiled prose this was super twisty, original and genuinely compelling
I just loved it. Dark, haunting, and with whiplash twists. A serial killer unlike any other. This is stand-out excellent
Bold and unsettling, The Midnight King offers a chilling dive into the mind of a serial killer and the devastating toll on his family. Dark, gripping, and unforgettable
The Midnight King tore through my heart at a rate of knots, staggering my very soul. I loved it
Absolutely incredible. Had me by the throat from the first page
A turn-it-up-to-11 thriller, The Midnight King glows with a halo of malevolence. More twists than a kudu horn and twice as sharp, it teems with ideas about family, transgenerational violence, and how there's nothing we bear lousier witness to than ourselves
A stylishly written, brilliantly structured novel that makes your own family seem almost normal. A dark and gripping piece of entertainment
A jaw droppingly good read that worms its way under your skin from the get-go and sinks its claws in till the very last page
I defy anyone to not read this in one sitting. Tariq Ashkanani is the master of dark fiction
A dark, devastating novel full of exquisite, almost painful suspense. The Midnight King will grip you from the first page and never let go. A fantastic achievement
Unflinching and unforgettable, The Midnight King is a beautifully-written slice of pitch-black noir that will stay with you long after the final page
A disturbing story, skilfully woven. On the harder edge of hard-boiled, it will appeal to those who love their crime thrillers served up extra cold
Dark, atmospheric, twisty and beautifully written, it's serial killer literature at its best. I was left with a haunting sense of unease
A tense, layered thriller, packed with menace and one hell of a twist. Smart and dark and pretty darn good
A deliciously dark slice of serial killer pie. Brings something genuinely fresh to the genre, and reads like peak Stephen King. I raced through it
Dark and twisted. I couldn't tear my eyes away. An in-one-sitting read that'll blow your mind
Dark, tense and vivid. The Midnight King is one of my books of the year
