Reviews

'Not just another scary-as-hell serial killer novel (although it is that in spades)...shocking, gruesome, and terrifying...it may also move you to tears...a perfect book for fans of Deaver, Koontz and King' -- Amazon.com (Editor's Pick) on THE FACE OF DEATH 'Mcfadyen is one of those authors who seems to surpass himself with every new book, and THE DARKER SIDE is no exception. I read this book in less than a day as I was utterly unable to put it down...With each new book written, the characters reveal more layers about themselves and grow further...This is yet another spellbinding book from Mcfadyen. I challenge anyone to put it down!' -- crimesquad.com 20080701 'Readers of Cody Mcfadyen's previous books -- SHADOW MAN and THE FACE OF DEATH -- will recognise descriptions in the reviews of both titles: shocking! gruesome! terrifying! scary! brilliant. Well, I wouldn't argue against his latest serial-killer outing, THE DARKER SIDE, receiving more of the same, and in spades...I found myself desperate to know who the killer was and why he or she was doing it. And surely that is what good thriller writing is all about.' -- Shots Mag 20080701 'Coldly, stunningly brilliant. Move over Thomas Harris, Mcfadyen has brought a new game to town.' -- Lisa Gardner on SHADOW MAN 20080701 'Terrifically good, terrifically scary ... very hard to put down' -- San Francisco Chronicle on SHADOW MAN 20060702 'Cody McFadyen writes the kind of gut-wrenching, fast-paced thrillers that keep you hooked, and terrified, right to the very end.' -- Simon Kernick 20060702 'Cody is one of those rare writers who have the gift of using words to scare you...There are scenes in this book that will chill you to the bone, but once you start it, there's no turning back, you simply have to finish it' -- Books Monthly www.gatewaymonthly.co.uk 20080808 'Mcfadyen is a supremely gifted storyteller. THE DARKER SIDE is an utterly compelling thriller.' -- Booklist starred review 20080901
