Praise for Darkside

I would press this one on anyone who loves Kate Atkinson, Bauer really is that good

ALICE O'KEEFFE, Bookseller

Bauer takes astonishing risks but - like a brilliant ski-jumper - arcs down to the perfect landing

Independent

Bold, mordant, compassionate, Darkside confirms Bauer's reputation as a significant new talent

Sunday Times

An extraordinary piece of writing...

Sunday Times (Culture)

Belinda Bauer is the most disturbing new talent around

VAL MCDERMID

Outstandingly good

Literary Review

Well-written, involving and chilling

Choice Magazine

She can do tragic brilliantly and she can do grim, but every now and then humour breaks into the tale - and she does that almost best of all

Guardian

Tense triumph... Bauer defies all expectations and does it again with a book that piles on the tension while remaining credible. It says something about the author that this novel can sit happily next to some of the more hard-boiled heavyweights

Shortlist

Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller
