Intelligent and sophisticated - a crime story told the way Picasso painted pictures. Highly recommended.
Lee Child
A literary thriller - complex, gripping and a beautiful read.
Jenni Murray
An elegant, gripping, multi-layered tale about the illusory nature of truth and memory. I loved it.
Tammy Cohen
I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone's recall perfect? This isn't just a very clever thriller - it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.
Julia Heaberlin (bestselling author of Black Eyed Susans)
I read The Book of Mirrors in a single sitting. It’s a brilliant novel that is utterly compelling
Jo’s Book Blog
This is as much a whydunit as a whodunit and the reader is drawn deeper into a web of ruthless ambition, manipulation and revenge
The Bookbag
This is a fine multi-layered, intelligent crime story that will keep you guessing about more than just the perpetrator of the crime. The author has created characters with depth and feeling. They take hold of you and immerse you in the story, leaving you reluctant to let it go until the final pages have been read. A certain winner.
Reading Writes
Beautifully written, with a very clear structure
Fully Booked
One of the most suspenseful and unguessable crime mysteries I have ever read.
United by Pop
Not only is this a clever read but it is also a well-written one. Encompassing nuances of plot, depth of character and intensity of narrative there is little to fault in the beautiful construction of this.

Fast-paced with a cast of untrustworthy characters, this is compelling suspense fiction at its finest

Chirovici draws his characters well and tantalizes the reader with judiciously timed revelations. A smart, sophisticated murder puzzle sure to please the more literary-minded aficionados of the form
Kirkus
THE ONE BOOK YOU WON’T FORGET IN 2017 A gripping psychological thriller full of hidden fragments and dark reflections. How would you piece together a murder? Do you trust other people’s memories? Do you trust your own? Should you?
from the publisher's description
Intricately plotted…Faulty memories, outright lies, and secrets make it hard to know whom to believe. The action builds to a crafty and believable resolution.
Publishers Weekly
seamless mix of literary experiment and page-turning mystery
Crime Scene Magazine
this is a meta-novel which possesses ripping momentum and brims with ambiguity. A high-grade mystery that’s ripe for investigation.
Crime Scene Magazine
Intrigue, confusion, and considerable fact distortion reign supreme in the extreme trial by memory presented by The Book of Mirrors

BookWormMummy
this book is going to be a 2017 smash (but don’t cut yourself on the glass) hit!
Keeper of Pages
An entertaining, clever story, told in an engaging manner that fits the story. I’ll be keen to read more work by EO Churovici in the future.
From First Page to Last
The Book of Mirrors is exactly what I look for in a thriller: a great concept, brilliantly executed, smarter than it seems and knotty enough to keep you guessing. Like the best stories about memory, it leaves the reader wondering what's true and what isn't.
James Smythe
This Romanian author's debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration the tricks memory can play

Chirovici has written a very clever book. The plot twists and turns, backtracks and goes round in circles, so you can never be quite sure where it’s going to go next.
