Praise for The Bunker Diary

A compulsive, atmospheric mystery

Sunday Times

A masterly writer

Mail on Sunday

Hugely readable . . . confoundedly gripping

The Independent on Sunday

[Kevin Brooks'] pacey plots . . . have made him a cult among teens. This, though, is the big one. It should be read by everyone.

Amanda Craig, The Times
