Reviews

Praise for Darren OSullivan:

Saw meets I See You in this dark, twisted and deadly game of kill or be killed. I held my breath from beginning to end CL Taylor, Her Last Holiday

Taut, terrifying and wonderfully original, I devoured THE PLAYERS in one heart-stopping sitting Chris Whitaker, We Begin at the End

I was engrossed in this from the very first page high concept, thrilling and very, very dark, its a book that draws the reader in so deeply that you cant help but ask what you would do in this situation. I couldnt put it down Lisa Hall , The Perfect Couple

A clever concept thriller that leaves you breathless. Darren OSullivans best work yet John Marrs, The One

Theres a tense game at the heart of this thriller, but the best player by far is OSullivan for upping his game once again! Louise Beech, I Am Dust

An outstandingly taut story which grabbed me and then spat me out breathless at the end Angela Marsons, Twisted Lies

An intense novel full of secrets, lies and suspense that I thoroughly enjoyed unravelling Mel Sherratt, Good Girl

Creepy and atmospheric Louise Jensen, The Stolen Sisters

A terrifying and addictive read I couldnt get out of my head Anna Kent, The House of Whispers

Engrossing, compelling and twisty from the first page to the shocking ending Michele Campbell, Its Always the Husband

Claustrophobic, original and creepy, Darren OSullivan is at the top of his game Phoebe Morgan, The Wild Girls
