After You Die

So fluid and easy to read, and her characters are becoming like old friends now

James Oswald, bestselling author of the Inspector Maclean series

Starts with a bang and never lets up. After You Die is beautifully-written, hard-hitting and impossible to put down. It cements Eva Dolan's deserved reputation as the brightest new star in the UK's crime fiction firmament

Mark Edwards, author of The Magpies and Follow You Home

Eva Dolan's brilliant Zigic and Ferreira are back. Expect twists, shocks and above all – searing honesty from a writer with an uncanny eye for the truth of what ails us

Sarah Hilary, winner of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year for Someone Else's Skin

Eva once again takes us into the dark and tragic world of hate crime. Enthralling and heartbreaking in equal parts, her latest is an absolute must read

Emma Kavanagh, author of Falling

Sharp, punchy and right on the money, the genius of Eva Dolan’s work is in the way she shines a light on the country’s marginalised and dispossessed.

Nick Quantrill

The DI Zigic and DS Ferreira series just keeps on getting better and better

Howard Linskey, author of The Drop and No Name Lane

Intelligent and deeply compassionate, shot through with sly humour and never failing to be anything but totally gripping, AFTER YOU DIE is a superb new entry in the DI Zigic and DS Ferreira series that confirms Dolan as one of crime fiction’s brightest rising stars

Chris Ewan, author of #1 bestseller, Safe House

Twisty, unsettling, perceptive and humane, this is social-realist crime fiction at its most compelling

Helen Giltrow, author of The Distance

Eva Dolan is my kind of writer. In her hands, the mystery novel becomes a tool for counting the cost of crime, and giving voice to those who are being left behind. With After You Die, Dolan proves she’s exactly the kind of writer we need in crime fiction. She speaks for those on the fringes of society

Jay Stringer

Angry, driven and entertaining, Dolan's procedurals have become essential reading. Crime writing that makes you feel, then makes you think

Harry Bingham

A beautiful portrayal of the turmoil that lies beneath the dead calm of small, tight-knit communities

Marnie Riches

Dolan delivers again. A hard-hitting hate crime mystery, played out by dynamic characters, designed to haunt. After You Die showcases the author's nigh-on-supernatural empathy for a wounded society

Gerard Brennan, author of Undercover

Another superlative thriller from Eva Dolan. Zigic and Ferreira are fast becoming one of my favourite crime-fighting duos

Mason Cross, author of The Samaritan

[Dolan] is able to tackle sensitive subjects without sensationalism

Joan Smith, Sunday Times, Crime Book of the Month

After You Die is pacy, suspenseful, and expertly plotted. With a cast of richly drawn characters, it covers some dark and topical issues, which are tackled with understanding and skill. An extremely well-crafted book which confirms Eva Dolan's place as one of our most talented crime writers.

Amanda Jennings

A thoughtful and contemporary thriller

Deirdre O’Brien, Sunday Mirror

The authority of Dolan’s writing grows from book to book

Barry Forshaw, Financial Times

Excellent... a masterfully written whodunnit... Eva Dolan has positioned herself firmly at the top table of contemporary British crime writers.

One to watch for as missing this would be a crime. ... I tend not to ‘score’ the majority of my reviews but I do like to flag titles I will rank at 5/5 – After You Die joins that small band of my top rated reads

GrabThisBook.net

Very well-written thriller.

Jessica Mann, Literary Review

Hard-hitting, tragic, compelling and timely.

Jon Coates, Daily Express

Elegantly crafted, humane and thought-provoking. She’s top drawer

Ian Rankin

This harrowing plot requires all of Dolan’s skills as a novelist, confirming that she is able to tackle sensitive subjects without sensationalism.

Joan Smith, Sunday Times

It’s both a skillfully constructed crime story and a sobering reflection on the extent to which the disabled are the minority to whom we find it all too easy to show a blind eye.
