So Say the Fallen

In the world of modern crime fiction, Stuart Neville is a supernova. I buy his books the day they’re released because I can’t wait to see where he takes me next. And I’m never disappointed

Dennis Lehane

DCI Serena Flanagan is a compelling blend of toughness and warmth

What makes Stuart Neville so special is that he never forgets the human heart that beats inside the bleakest darkness

Val McDermid

A crime-writing star

Mark Billingham

Flanagan is a superb creation, one of the most convincing women detectives around

The Times

Another tightly-written thriller from the king of Irish Crime

Metro

There's a chilling core to this pitch dark and powerful thriller

Sunday Mirror

Meticulous in its depiction of ruthless, deeply disturbed and manipulative killer, Neville has given us a thoughtful, atmospheric novel and, in Flanagan, a low-key, all-too-human hero for our times

Declan Burke, Irish Times

A gripping tale of evil, despair and redemption

The Times Crime Club

Neville goes from strength to strength, giving us a flawed detective who retains her humanity in spite of the dark, bleak landscape of Ulster

Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail

With his [Neville’s] ongoing, sympathetic development of this fascinating, complex character, his liking for Serena was apparent in this latest book. I certainly share his desire to allow her to gradually reveal her story, as well as those of her family, and can only hope that it won’t be too long before he treats his readers to the next story in what I hope will be a long series!
