Reviews

Gloriously dark, deliciously twisty
*Clare Mackintosh*

Stunning. A dark, brilliantly written suspense chiller. Superb. One of the best writers in the business on top form
*Steve Cavanagh*

Nuanced and intelligent
*Guardian*

Addictive in the best possible way - I couldn't stop reading but didn't want it to end. This is a holiday read like no other, a dark novel set in the sunniest of settings, the shadow of this beautifully crafted story will stay with me for a long time
*Lisa Ballantyne*

An insanely twisty thriller, with characters and plot that convince equally - this is a class act from a reliably brilliant author
*Mirror*

I raced through Fallen Angel, captivated by the darkness of the characters and the underlying toxicities of the dual timelines. Expertly plotted, it twists inexorably along to a highly satisfying resolution
*Harriet Tyce*

What happened to Niamh . . . is the mystery that lies at the heart of a novel that skilfully unpeels the truth like an onion, one thin layer at a time
*Sunday Times*

Fallen Angel shows Brookmyre's immense skill as a writer at the top of his game, as well as what can be created in the crime/thriller genre
*Scotsman*

Chilling and mysterious
*Sunday Post*

It's simply compelling
*The i*

A complicated but satisfying tale
*Literary Review*

A quality psychological thriller that gets into your head and leaves you on the edge
*Woman's Way*

Humming along like a well-regulated machine, Fallen Angel shows how much Brookmyre has learned about planning and constructing a thriller, and how easily predictable plot developments can be blended with scarcely believable twists to gripping effect
*Herald*

A totally addictive novel, with dark characters, layers of deception and some terrific twists
*Real People*
