Candice Fox’s brilliant crime novel set in LA . . . will surely garner her a whole new set of readers: the ones who haven’t already encountered her via her earlier prize-winning crime novels set in Australia, or through her partnership with James Patterson. But Gathering Dark is in an altogether different league, one headed by the great Elmore Leonard.
Sue Turnbull, The Age
Gathering Dark is expansive, generous and thoroughly engaging, and will surely cement Fox’s reputation as one of Australia’s finest new gen crime writers. It’s that good.
Sue Turnbull, Sydney Morning Herald
Tight plot, polished writing, snappy dialogue and a great dose of dark humour already makes this excellent crime, but then Candice adds a cast of complex, interesting, extremely compelling female characters, and Gathering Dark immediately soars to the top of a genre normally inhabited by complicated men.
Better Reading
Gathering Dark is Candice Fox’s best book so far, which makes it very bloody good. Takes guts to set it in LA, the territory of so many great crime writers. Should be her big breakthrough book
Laurie Oakes
Perhaps it’s the LA setting, or the fact that all the core characters are women, but something about Gathering Dark feels a little different. It’s like Candice Fox is taking things to a whole new level. The action is bigger and bolder, which is saying something, considering some of the things this author has pulled off in previous books.
