Reviews

Ren Bryce becomes a more compelling character with each successive novel sharply observed Declan Hughes, Irish Times

A well-up-to-scratch Barclay keeps this small-town tale rattling along at an enjoyably breakneck speed to a most unexpected denouement Irish Examiner

Praise for Killing Ways:

The pace is fast, without feeling rushed; the twists never feel forced; and the denouement, when it comes, is almost unbearably intense and shocking Irish Independent

An intense, frightening read gripping throughout Womans Way

Praise for Alex Barclay:

Snappy dialogue a meaty read Irish Independent

Blood Loss is cleverly paced, with Barclay drawing out the suspense but giving you just enough information to keep you hooked Hot Press

Gripping, stylish, convincing Sunday Times (Ireland)

Tense, no-punches-pulled thriller that will have you on the edge of your deckchair. Woman and Home

Right now, shes the rising star of the hard-boiled crime fiction world, combining wild characters, surprising plots and massive backdrops with a touch of dry humour Mirror
