Blueeyedboy

by JoanneHarris (Author)

Synopsis

Once there was a widow with three sons, and their names were Black, Brown and Blue. Black was the eldest; moody and aggressive. Brown was the middle child, timid and dull. But Blue was his mother's favourite. And he was a murderer.' Blueyedboy is the brilliant new novel from Joanne Harris: a dark and intricately plotted tale of a poisonously dysfunctional family, a blind child prodigy, and a serial murderer who is not who he seems. Told through posts on badguysrock@webjournal.com, this is a thriller that makes creative use of all the disguise, deception and mind games that are offered by playing out one's life on the internet.

Media Reviews
Delivers an almighty twist in the tale late on... brilliantly atmospheric and at times heartbreaking.
-- The Times
We all loved Chocolat, and Joanne Harris' new thriller, which follows the lives of three brothers and their dysfunctional families via a series of web journals, has the same beauty with a modern edge. A dark, intricate tale.
--Company
An ingenious, gripping read... it terrified the living daylights out of me.
-- Daily Express
Brilliantly written, plotted and insightful... beware unreliable narrators along with a huge plot twist at the end.
-- Mirror
Engrossing psychological thriller... a novel of unusual complexity... Harris, best known for Chocolat, again shows her skill and versatility.
