Reviews

‘Dark, disturbing and totally addictive. A first class serial killer thriller from a bold new voice’ Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End ‘Echoes of Lisa Gardner, Jeffery Deaver, Stuart MacBride – The Echo Man evokes that same classic, satisfying, red-blooded fear. But Sam Holland’s stellar debut is very much its own beast, wily and brawny and dangerous: a lethal new predator in an alluringly old-school skin’ A. J.
