Recenzii
An expertly realised, addictive Russian doll of a whodunnit
A top-class literary thriller that smoothly outclasses its rivals
Should delight any reader who has felt bereft since finishing Gone Girl, or Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy
It's a terrific story and I'm loving it
It's like 'Twin Peaks' meets Atonement meets In Cold Blood - the French thriller everyone is talking about
An intricate murder mystery that could be the read of the summer
The tale is expertly told, as unreliable information dances with necessary plot shifts and unexpected moments of catastrophe. An accomplished thriller
Pacy, pleasingly complex and addictive
Complex, intriguing and highly enjoyable
With enough plot twists to fill a truck, it is a racy read
Tremendous fun and almost insanely readable
Combines literariness with compulsively readable storytelling
A seductive read . . . well-crafted and highly enjoyable
Dicker has the first-rate crime novelist's ability to lead his readers up the garden path . . . An excellent story
Unimpeachably terrific . . . A playful, page-turning whodunit . . . If Norman Mailer had been accused of murder and Truman Capote had collaborated with Dominick Dunne on a tell-all about it, the result might have turned out something like this
Dicker's bestseller features a labyrinthine murder mystery and a book-within-a-book subplot . . . It's energetically written and cleverly constructed.
