Incredibly engrossing with many twists & turns along the way....I
would happily recommend Little Bones to anyone looking for a fast
paced crime thriller
*Swirl and Thread Blog*
The start of an exciting new crime series introducing fearless
Detective Cat Connolly.... one of the year's most thrilling
reads.
*Easons*
Little Bones is a fascinating story about old sins and family
secrets. I found the book engrossing from the start, thanks to both
the interesting story and its characters.
*A Bookaholic Swede Blog*
I was incredibly impressed by Little Bones. If you like your crime
fiction to involve the more traditional police procedural, one that
has a little more complexity to the generic, this may well be a
book that you will really enjoy.
*Cleopatra Loves Books Blog*
Little Bones has suspense, mystery, suspicious death, festering
families, a brilliantly executed plot, PLUS characters with plenty
of flavour
*Little Bookness Lane Blog*
It was a great book, with some unexpected twist and with an ending
that first was promising and then turned devastating. I recommend
this book warmly!
*It's a Mad, Mad World*
A gripping read
*Irish Country Magazine*
Sam Blake's debut novel is a fast-paced thriller with a twisting
plot and a likable heroine
*Irish Times (Weekend Review)*
One to watch
*Crime Always Pays*
From the very first page the reader is treated to a tense,
fast-paced journey of suspense. A thrilling debut with a gutsy
protagonist and a memorable story. The pages will practically turn
themselves... Highly Recommended
*Bleach House Library*
Connolly, for whom the word "gutsy" might have been invented, is a
terrific character . . . a compelling debut; the author keeps her
complex storyline going all the way to its incredible ending
*Sunday Independent*
A truly engrossing read
*independent.ie*
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has a good, strong story-line with
believable and maybe more importantly, likeable characters. It's a
dark, chilling read and I really enjoyed it. Cathy Connolly is
instantly likeable and I can't wait to read more from Sam Blake
soon. Definitely a debut writer to watch out for.
*Damp Pebbles*
if you love complex mystery plots, you could definitely enjoy
Little Bones. And despite that creepy blurb, the book is never
graphic or too disturbing, I can assure you. Dark and gripping?
Absolutely...
*The Misstery*
I whizzed through this and am highly impressed that this is a
debut! Written with a fresh voice in the genre of crime fiction it
will be hard to put down. Addictive and shocking and full of
mystery. I cannot wait to read more from this author.
*Supermum*
This is a fast-paced, suspenseful read that will have you whipping
through the pages, frantic to discover what happens in the next
chapter, and the next and the next. Suffice to say, it is very
addictive. Little bones will knock you off your feet and in the way
only a superlative read truly can, prove impossible to banish from
your thoughts.
*Ronnie Turner*
Little Bones will grab you from the very beginning. Blake sets up a
new series of police crime thrillers with Little Bones, and Cathy
is a strong female protagonist to use as the heroine. Little Bones
is a must for anyone looking to get their summertime crime fix.
*Pure M Magazine*
Tightly plotted, believably charactered and told with style - what
more can you want? A great debut.
*The Book Bag*
I can not believe this is a debut novel! Sam Blake has created a
hard, powerful kickass character in Detective Cat Connelly...
