Incredible. Just incredible. Belinda Bauer is a genius. * Clare Mackintosh, author of I LET YOU GO *
...all the texture and depth of a classic crime thriller... This increasingly taut thriller is page-clawing material. * Stuart Winter, Daily Express *

The Beautiful Dead will keep you up all night. * Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR *

A masterclass in storytelling. Crime novels don't get much better than this. I loved it * C L Taylor, author of THE ACCIDENT *
Belinda Bauer is the connoisseur of crime novels. * ES Best, Evening Standard *
...the formidably talented Belinda Bauer. From the award-winning Blacklands onwards, she has shown a plucky willingness to take the crime novel into completely unexpected territory, and a sure-fire grasp of how to unsettle the reader. Bauer aficionados need not hesitate; she's on typically scabrous form here. -- Barry Forshaw * FT *
Oh my, this is a clever, chilling, and penetrating read...I simply couldn't put it down. With sharply spiked claws that hook into your mind and don't let go, The Beautiful Dead is a heart pounding and captivating read. -- Liz Robinson * Lovereading *
Belinda Bauer used to be a screenwriter and it shows in the fast pace and mounting tension that makes The Beautiful Dead a book you'll read in one go with all the lights blazing after you've made sure every door is locked. * Sarra Manning *
No one writes books like Belinda Bauer, who just gets better and better. * Sarah Hilary *
...this all too believable thriller is fast-paced, taut and super scary * The Sun on Sunday's Fabulous Magazine *
Belinda Bauer is probably Britain's most original crime writer. * Crime Scene *
...polished and breathtakingly tense, this novel of obsession and murder takes a firm grip from the start * Woman & Home *
I have read serial killer-yarns that are more frightening but few as entertaining or, in its low-key way, as moving. * Telegraph *
excellent and disturbing crimer * Sunday Sport *
