He is the recipient of many prizes, most recently the CWA's Diamond Dagger for a writer of an outstanding body of crime fiction.Jack Reacher, the first Jack Reacher movie starring Tom Cruise, was based on the novel One Shot, and the second is Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.Trade Review"'Reacher is as dyed-in-the-wool an American action man as Hollywood could hope for...manages that tough trick of seeming at once battle-hardened, footloose, sexy and compassionate: the sort of ladies' man that Peter Millar, The Times" The Times "'Within a short space of time, Child has gleaned enviable recognition for his tautly written thrillers...This tale will ensure that many a train stop is missed'" The Good Book Guide "'In three novels Lee Child has established a franchise with his maverick drifter, the ex-US military cop Jack Reacher, and shown that, for an Englishman, he can produce passable American. His fourth, The Visitor, offers an efficient mix of hard-boiled style with lots of lip and a revivial of the classic locked-room mystery...Tight plotting, pace and high mileage'" Guardian "'Relentlessly fast-paced and beautifully structured...Amply fulfils the promise of its predecessors. Reacher is the sort of hero no woman could help falling for, and he looks destined to have a very long life'" Daily Mail "'A thumping good read...This is an excellent thriller of the Patricia Cornwell variety. Gripping and well-constructed...Impossible to put down'" Daily Express

Quirk Books The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying
Book Synopsis“This funny and fresh take on a classic tale manages to comment on gender roles, racial disparities, and white privilege all while creeping me all the way out. So good.”—Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black GirlNow in paperback, Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.Bonus features: • Reading group guide for book clubs • Hand-drawn map of Mt. Pleasant • Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix • And more! Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.Trade ReviewThe New York Times Best SellerA Barnes & Noble Best Fiction Book of 20202021 Locus Award FinalistA Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist#1 April 2020 LibraryReads PickApril 2020 Indie Next PickAmazon Best Book of April 2020A Library Journal Editors' Pick for April 2020The A.V.

Then Ellen’s whole world implodes and she embarks on an obsessive need to get revenge. There is nothing you won’t do for your children – even murder . . .'Compelling, unexpected and beautifully written' JANE FALLON‘Tense, provocative and devastatingTrade Review'It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by Louise Candlish is the very definition of a “just one more chapter” novel. I devoured it. And it’s full of such great writing about the ferocity of maternal love' -- Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You‘Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down… this is an author at the top of her game’ -- Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall'There’s nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly' -- Jane Corry, author of The Lies We Tell'No one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise Candlish. I’d expected her to do this, and to provide a great sense of place, and twists that would have been rifling through the book to see how they’d been done. What I wasn’t expecting was that this thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended' -- Sarah Vaughan, author of Little Disasters‘This psychological thriller that is a perfect example of its type’ * Times Crime Club *‘Candlish’s latest, thoroughly compelling thriller shows off her trademark mix of smartly observed London life, crafty twists and unreliable, but all-too-believable characters’ * Mail on Sunday *‘A woman glimpses a man on a roof terrace. Strange thing is, she knows he’s dead. And she knows because she killed him… From the award-winning author of Our House' * The I *‘The Heights explores maternal love and how ferocious it can be, as well as dealing with grief and revenge, showing how these emotions can become blurred. Admittedly, Ellen is a hard character to like, but writer Louise Candlish skilfully makes the reader empathise with her feelings. Stylish and sinister, this is a dark tale with a punch to the ending’ * Sunday Express *‘When Ellen’s son Lucas befriends troubled teen Kieran, her instinct to keep her child safe intensifies. But within months, Lucas’s life has been destroyed. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game between Ellen and Kieran, as she strives for revenge. But we soon wonder if there’s another side to the story' * Woman’s Weekly *‘A dizzying read with some wicked plot twists, this is a story you won’t put down!’ * My Weekly *'The Heights has everything you could possibly wish for - tragedy, obsession, revenge and, yes, love. Another finely-crafted masterpiece from Louise Candlish' -- BA Paris‘Tense, provocative and devastatingly powerful. I loved Our House but I think The Heights might be even better’ -- TM Logan'A beautifully written tale of destructive obsession and revenge, with Louise’s trademark killer twist' -- Mark Edwards'Compelling, unexpected and beautifully written' -- Jane Fallon'Another very clever corker of a book from Candlish . . . As with her recent hits, Candlish uses architecture as a thrilling backdrop and skewers the vanities and vulnerabilities of complacent middle-class types and what they are capable of when faced with protecting their territory. We all know people like these characters – she couldn’t possibly be talking about us. Could she?' Daily Mail ‘Dangerously dark and grippingly tense, this will keep you guessing with its brilliant twists and turns’ Heat 'Stylish and sinister, this is a dark tale with a punch to the ending' S Magazine ‘An edge of the seat read' Closer ‘A roller-coaster read’ Bella ‘When Ellen’s son Lucas befriends troubled teen Kieran, her instinct to keep her child safe intensifies. Ellen’s gut feeling is right as, within months, Lucas’s life has been destroyed. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game between Ellen and Kieran, as she strives for revenge. Told through Ellen’s own heart-breaking account, you soon wonder whether her point of view is accurate, or if there’s another side to the story. A real nail-biter' Woman & Home 'This story of revenge, love and fear – and what justice really means – is a sure-fire hit' Fabulous ‘A gripping read!’ Yours 'This multi-layered thriller has everythign you want in a great read: tension - you're never sure who is telling the truth - emotion - as you put yourself in Ellen's shoes - and an unravelling of the plot that is both satisfying and scary. Wonderful' Belfast Telegraph 'Another helping of twisted suburban noir at its fiendishly finest' Lancashire Evening News 'A vertigo-inducing plot to make your head spin… a devilish chiller' Saga 'Another great read from the bestselling author Louise Candlish… Twists and turns that will leave you breathless until the final page' Hello ‘Quite breathtakingly brilliant, this slow-burning thriller about the power of a mother’s love will keep you hooked' Real People
