Reviews

John Hart writes with a spare clean prose style, a sharp ear for dialogue and a feel for intricacies of plot. - The Times on IRON HOUSEOne of the outstanding thriller-writers of our time, and this his fourth book, underlines that fact. It is, quite simply, breathtaking with a sweep and intensity that mark it out. Heart-stopping action, superb characterisation . . . this is my thriller of the summer. - Daily Mail on IRON HOUSEPowerfully resonant - Daily Telegraph on IRON HOUSEA really classy thriller . . . the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration. - Guardian on IRON HOUSEHart maintains a propulsive momentum, blending tension with outbreaks of deftly executed violence to give the tale both pace and punch, but what marks Hart out from his peers is his facility for a kind of hardboiled poetry. While Iron House is ostensibly a novel about the travails of a former and unrepentant killer, Hart is an author who combines power and depth as he shines a light into the darker recesses of the human psyche. - Irish TimesSmart and swift-moving . . . Hart knows his way round the courtrooms and jailhouses . . . the way that Grisham and Turow do. - Pat Conroy on IRON HOUSEIf you want a real page-turner that will captivate you from start to finish, then Iron House is your book. - Toowoomba Chronicle
