Ingenious, daring and brilliant
*Guardian*
Fast moving ... tightly plotted
*Sunday Times*
A stylishly executed and well produced study in fear, loathing and
victimisation which moves towards doom in measured steps
*Observer*
Compelling and sinister . . . a very good thriller
*Glasgow Herald*
A remarkable novel . . . superbly crafted, funny and
intelligent
*Financial Times*
From the brilliant opening . . . that lands the reader smack in the
middle of the first of a series of cold-blooded murders to the
final confrontation on a weather-beaten wild island . . .
Complicity is irresistibly compelling
*New York Times Book Review*
Literate, passionate and well-paced, Complicity succeeds as both an
absorbing entertainment and a chilling examination of
accountability in a morally bankrupt world
*San Francisco Chronicle*
An ingeniously constructed tale, done with customary ease, wit and
panache. Banks may be a classic story-spinner, purveyor of the
proverbial Good Read: but in among all the contrasts, the
genre-hopping and the fun, there's a small, serious common purpose
to his work
*Scotsman*
Brutal in the nightmarishness of its gruesome murders and sexual
explicitness but never less than a no-holds-barred blitz of a
thriller
*Daily Mail*
An excellent nervy book, both cool and terrifying at its dark
centre where the perfect logic of the protagonist is devoid of
pity. Banks's muscular style and gruesome imagination make this a
fast-moving thriller not to be missed
*Daily Telegraph*
A cocktail of sex, skulduggery and hi-tech mystery, set most
convincingly in a Caledonian newsroom. I shall now read everything
Banks has written
*Financial Times*
