Trade Review

‘Unfolds in a delirious frenzy. I Confess is funny and sad and moving, a page-turner and a treat’ Irish Times

‘An intricate superbly paced plot, evoking a menacing undertone that starts on the first page and doesn’t let up until the very last sentence.’ Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Praise for Alex Barclay:

‘Ren Bryce becomes a more compelling character with each successive novel … sharply observed’ Declan Hughes, Irish Times

‘A well-up-to-scratch Barclay keeps this small-town tale rattling along at an enjoyably breakneck speed to a most unexpected denouement’ Irish Examiner

‘The pace is fast, without feeling rushed; the twists never feel forced; and the denouement, when it comes, is almost unbearably intense and shocking’ Irish Independent

‘An intense, frightening read … gripping throughout’ Woman’s Way

‘Snappy dialogue … a meaty read’ Irish Independent

‘Cleverly paced, with Barclay drawing out the suspense but giving you just enough information to keep you hooked’ Hot Press

‘Gripping, stylish, convincing’ Sunday Times (Ireland)

‘Tense, no-punches-pulled thriller that will have you on the edge of your deckchair.’ Woman and Home

‘Right now, she’s the rising star of the hard-boiled crime fiction world, combining wild characters, surprising plots and massive backdrops with a touch of dry humour’ Mirror
