Recenzii

Heaberlin's latest thriller isat once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography
Every journey reaches its end, and the one inPaper Ghostscomes on fast and furious. Signposts along the way warn ofangst, secrets and deadly plot twists, but you'll never see what's coming . . .
A tale of murderous obsession . . .Heaberlin, author of the impressive Black-Eyed Susans, plays her cards close to her chest,careful to give away little about the motivations of either of her characters, as her heroine edges closer to the truth'
Wonderful . . . creepy . . . it elevates the often tawdry genre of the serial killer novel to a work of art
Heaberlin's worksbeautifully evoke the texture and landscape of the state of Texas. . . Their road trip across Texas results inprofound revelations, strange occurrences, and a surprisingly heartwarming ending
Gripping . . .dementia suits crime fiction. Is the suspect lying or has a medical reason for his amnesia?
Beautifully written and wonderfully chilling
Readers cannot tell fact from fiction.The timing is perfect,the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killertakes turns no one is expecting
Thetension crackles . . . it had me changing my mind so often, my head was spinning. A work of art.
A dialogue propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaption would entail sacrificing Heaberlin's evocative prose
Strong characterisation, haunting images, a wonderful sense of place
This book haunted me . . . The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!
Utterly compelling . . . the writing is mesmeric
Heaberlin knows exactly how to createa feeling of suspense.The kind of fear that that creeps up on you from behind. It is a compelling and sinister, character-driven read.
A clever tale about finding closure
Abeautifully written, gripping and extraordinarybook
A rich hybrid workthat's at once a zany dialogue-propelled town-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography
Finding something new to say about serial killers is almost impossible these days, but Heaberlin's approach is completely original and all shades of menacing
My crime novel of 2018. It'sa stunning page turnerof a book whichkept me gripped throughout. It's a book that has stayed with me beyond the last chapter and I'm recommending it to everyone
The timing is perfect, the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting
This book haunted me. Such a gripping exploration of obsession and loss: of those we love, but also our memories and sense of self. The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!
Praise forBlack-Eyed Susans
It's a terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension
One of the classiest thrillers you'll read this year
Black Eyed Susansis a compelling read, especially forSerialfans
Creepyandcompelling,Black-Eyed Susansis ashadowyandcrookedjourney to a very dark place indeed, atwisty fairytalethat deceives you just when you think you've cracked it and athriller to make you remember why you love thrillers. Don't miss it
Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings
Black-Eyed Susansis a masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed . . . and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling... is outstanding. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early novels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn'sGone Girland now Heaberlin'sBlack-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it
A truly compelling tale of the fragility of memory and elusive redemption
Terrific. Impeccable plotting
