Tense, gripping and totally terrifying - High Wire is not to be missed.
Kathy Reichs
High Wire is yet more proof, as if we needed it, that Candice Fox is the queen of Aussie crime.
Hayley Scrivenor
Tense, pacy, High Wire starts at full bore and doesn’t let up.
Garry Disher
The hallmark of a Candice Fox thriller is a visceral pace that makes it impossible to look away from its pages. Case in point, High Wire – a book you don’t so much read as you do experience . . . Fox’s craftsmanship needs to be applauded. There’s a tempo and structure to High Wire you could easily take for granted, until you truly start considering its construction, and how efficiently she jumps from beat to beat, giving each character just enough development for them to register as more than bodies to be manipulated for the sake of plot, but not lingering too long to slow down momentum. It’s a rollercoaster of action and emotion, a seminal storyteller at work. Candice Fox is truly in a class of her own.
Simon McDonald
I found myself wanting to continue reading late into the night, hoping that somehow the odds would fall in the right direction for its characters. High Wire is definitely not a cozy mystery. If you want a story that packs a metaphorical punch, this one is hard to stop reading. It kept me guessing at the end of every chapter, kept me wanting more.
