Trade Review“Edwards doesn’t need fancy flourishes or clever gimmicks to write the hell out of a story...A white-knuckle, one-sitting read.” —Red Magazine “The Devil’s Work is an assured and effective psychological thriller, from a writer who knows how to tell a compelling and thrilling story.” —My Weekly “[The Devil’s Work] has all the hallmarks of a psychological thriller: fear, paranoia, people who are not what they seem, high-wire tension and a shoal of red herrings.” —Daily Mail “The Devil’s Work is clever, contemporary, and chillingly plausible.
