Reviews

Brooding and intricately woven, The Sugar Man delivers a rich tapestry of characters and a deliciously claustrophobic small town setting. Addictive and oh so clever, this book is a masterclass in plotting and I inhaled it in two greedy gulps. * Ali Land, bestelling author of Good Me Bad Me *
With a nod to the classic film Witness, The Sugar Man finds hardbitten cop Dakota Finch on the trail of a serial killer hiding in an insular religious community back in a place and a past she thought she had left behind. An unflinching and mesmerizing small town crime story * Vaseem Khan *
Praise for Nicols Obregn -- :
A masterpiece -- Jeffery Deaver
I'm awestruck -- A. J. Finn
A dark, brutal ride -- Anthony Horowitz
Truly heart-rending * Daily Express *
