Exit

EXIT is ingeniously plotted and every word is perfect. It’s a rare book that has you turning the pages impatiently, desperate to solve the mystery, all the while never wanting it to end because it’s such a joy to read. Felix Pink is the most loveable killer in recent fiction.

Erin Kelly, author of HE SAID/SHE SAID

Cleverly plotted, touching and funny.

Bookseller

Fresh, funny, flawless: EXIT is a joy from start to finish.

Clare Mackintosh, author of LET ME LIE

Charming, intensely human . . . and very suspenseful. I loved it.

Lee Child

Twisty, brilliantly plotted and funny too. Felix Pink is a wonderful character and I just wanted to hug him. (He'd be horrified!)

Jill Mansell, author of MAYBE THIS TIME

EXIT is the perfect antidote to the nervy gloom of this shut-down world. It's warm and funny and dark and sad all at the same time, beautifully plotted and paced, and peopled with fabulous, complex characters that have drawn me right into their lives. Felix is fast becoming one of my favourite fictional characters.

Donal Ryan, author of FROM A LOW AND QUIET SEA

I loved Exit. Belinda Bauer writes the sort of characters who rock your world view and yet pull you in totally. Her plots are completely out of left field but she is singing my tune. A fan for life (I know, slightly creepy) and cannot wait for the next...

Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW

This darkly funny crime novel has possibly the most unique concept I've come across: 75-year-old Felix is part of a network called the Exiteers, who sit with people who have chosen to end their lives. Except on his most recent mission, something goes wrong and Felix finds himself on the run for murder. For fans of Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie books.

Good Housekeeping

Beady-eyed yet tender, it resembles a collaboration between Agatha Christie and Muriel Spark.

Sunday Times (Thriller of the Month)

Exit is an absolute delight, a darkly comic mystery that will keep you guessing while you frantically turn the pages, and Felix is one of the most loveable fugitives ever created. This ingenious and unique crime novel is the perfect tonic to the gloom of another lockdown.

Sunday Express

A cunningly plotted thriller with more than a dash of Joe Orton-like black comedy. Bauer confirms her status as one of our most consistently inventive crime novelists.

Mail on Sunday

This intriguing, tender, funny and sometimes (in the best possible way) farcical novel about life and death is a sheer delight.

Guardian

Such warmth and wit.

Sunday Telegraph

A crime novel . . . but not as you know it.

Woman & Home

The plot is breakneak, but what lingers most is the hero's capacity for empathy at any cost.

New York Times, Editor's Choice

Belinda Bauer's murder-mystery combines satisfying twisty suspense with black comedy and unexpectedly warm humanity.
