Media Reviews
The most polished crime writer on the murder beat ... Exhausting, exhilarating and damn scary Daily Express 'Belinda Bauer is a marvel. Her novels are almost indecently gripping and enjoyable, and The Shut Eye is possibly her best yet Sophie Hannah One of the most individual of crime writers ... Bauer is streets ahead of most of her rivals Independent A twisty, fast-paced plot that kept me on tenterhooks Woman & Home An intricate plot, extremely moving in some places - Bauer's ability to get under the skins of her characters is second to none Guardian
