Reviews

Praise for RAGDOLL by Daniel Cole, the quality, rocket-paced thriller for readers of Jo Nesbo:
RAGDOLL is utterly addictive with brilliant characters and a killer twist you will never see coming - the best debut I've ever read.
*Rachel Abbott, Number One bestselling author*

Give an arm or a leg to get hold of a copy... An exciting thriller.
*Linwood Barclay*

A star is born. Killer plot. Killer pace. Twisted killer and a killer twist. Kill to get a copy.
*Simon Toyne, bestselling author of SOLOMON CREED*

A brilliant, breathless thriller. If you liked Se7en, you'll love this!
*M.J. Arlidge, author of HIDE AND SEEK*

A gruesome delight! Daniel Cole's thriller RAGDOLL, in which gritty detective William "Wolf" Fawkes comes upon a single corpse stitched together out of six bodies, had me flipping pages furiously. It's an impressive debut, dark, propulsive, and surprisingly funny.
*Gregg Hurwitz, bestselling author of ORPHAN X*

Six corpses in one - and that's just the beginning! Don't expect any let-up in this chilling ride-along with a serial killer more devious and warped than you could ever imagine.
*David Jackson, Number One bestselling author*

Gruesome, twisty and wildly addictive...I couldn't put RAGDOLL down.
*Lisa Hall, author of TELL ME NO LIES*

A smorgasbord of flawed characters, an unrelenting pace and a perfect balance of gore and wit. RAGDOLL is a corker of a debut and Cole is sure to be a brilliant and accomplished new voice for crime readers to devour.
*Ali Land, author of GOOD ME, BAD ME*

RAGDOLL is a fiendishly inventive serial killer mystery wrapped around a compelling new protagonist. I can't wait to see what Daniel Cole does next.
*Mason Cross, author of THE TIME TO KILL*

A first class, dark thriller.

I loved RAGDOLL. A rip-roaring, inventive and riveting read.
*Jill Mansell, author of MEET ME AT BEACHCOMBER BAY*

Daniel Cole's RAGDOLL is a bold first step in what is liable to be a spectacular career. Disturbing, taut and compelling, this book took me down the rabbit hole as only the best of thrillers can. Bravo, Mr. Cole.
*John Hart, author of REDEMPTION ROAD*

Terrifyingly brilliant. I dare you to turn the lights out after reading!
*Robert Bryndza, author of DARK WATER*

RAGDOLL kept me enthralled from its startling opening to its tense finale. Superb thriller writing.
*Peter Robinson, author of WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER*

RAGDOLL is such a good read - with kick-ass characters and a cleverly executed, action packed plot, it's like a police procedural Die Hard.
*Mel Sherratt, author of DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU*

highly anticipated debut that is surely bidding to be the year's most gruesome thriller.

the most exciting debut we've read in a long time
