Reviews

"Realistic fear, heart-stopping suspense, and jolting plot twists keep one almost frantically turning pages as Bolton grabs us from the beginning and leaves us shaken at the end. Highly recommended."--"Library Journal" (starred review)

"Close-to-the-bone red herrings skillfully strewn across the detectives' paths, convincing cop-shop procedure, and perceptively drawn secondary characters help push this contemporary crime novel ahead of the pack...Bolton looks deep into the lost-soul madness of a killer and makes her vision all too horribly real."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred)

"Couple the strong narrative drive with a pair of dysfunctional but surprisingly sympathetic characters, and you have a nail-biting thriller that will send readers back to Bolton's previous books and, of course, have them lining up for whatever the author comes up with next."--"Booklist" (starred)

"Bolton is changing the face of crime fiction--if you only read one crime novel this year, make it this." --Tess Gerritsen on "Now You See Me"

"Really special: multi-layered and sophisticated, but tough too." --Lee Child""on" Now You See Me"

""Although "Now You See Me" is tough to beat, Bolton comes close with this sequel. Readers will be caught up in the twists and turns that leave them hanging until the final paragraph." --"Library Journal" (starred) on "Dead Scared

""Outstanding . . . Bolton never eases up the tension; her tightly coiled plot and heroine on the edge work perfectly in tandem." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred, Pick of the Week) on "Dead Scared"
