Media Reviews
She's a thriller queen... hailed as the woman most likely to lead the fightback against the Scandinavian crime-wave... [Darkside] cocks a snook at the traditional English crime novel... It's an extraordinary piece of writing... with a stunning denouement... Bauer ramps up the psychological tension like an old hand... The result is one of the most gripping whodunnits you'll read in 2011 Sunday Times (Culture) Probably the most shocking ending you'll read this year. Belinda Bauer is the most disturbing new talent around VAL MCDERMID Second novel syndrome may be a recognised condition but it is not something that affects Belinda Bauer who follows last year's storming debut, Blacklands, with Darkside. I would press this one on anyone who loves Kate Atkinson, Bauer really is that good... Another cracking crime novel. -- Alice O'Keeffe Bookseller Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller Daily Mirror Belinda Bauer won the CWA Gold Dagger for her first crime novel, Blacklands, and she's produced a barnstorming follow-up with Darkside...
