The Shut Eye

Reviews

An intricate plot, extremely moving in some places - Bauer's ability to get under the skins of her characters is second to none So much more than an simple whodunit - a clever, sophisticated modern crime novel [A] cracking psychological thriller Belinda Bauer is disconcerting. She follows none of the usual formulae governing crime fiction, defies easy labelling and sees deeper than most into people's emotions. Nobody scares me quite like Belinda Bauer [Belinda Bauer] is such an interesting writer - a restless intelligence that always goes its own way, but always comes up with something that feels both surprising but inevitable. The most polished crime writer on the murder beat . . . Exhausting, exhilarating and damn scary 'Belinda Bauer is a marvel. Her novels are almost indecently gripping and enjoyable, and The Shut Eye is possibly her best yet One of the most individual of crime writers . . . Bauer is streets ahead of most of her rivals A twisty, fast-paced plot that kept me on tenterhooks Expand reviews
