A clever tale about finding closure
The Sun
Beautifully written and wonderfully chilling
Sarah Pinborough
Readers cannot tell fact from fiction. The timing is perfect, the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting
RT Book Reviews
The tension crackles . . . it had me changing my mind so often, my head was spinning. A work of art.
Sunday Express
A dialogue propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaption would entail sacrificing Heaberlin's evocative prose
THRILLER OF THE MONTH, The Sunday Times
Strong characterisation, haunting images, a wonderful sense of place
Guardian
This book haunted me . . . The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!
C J TUDOR, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man
Utterly compelling . . . the writing is mesmeric
ALI LAND, Sunday Times bestselling author of Good Me Bad Me
A tale of murderous obsession . . . Heaberlin, author of the impressive Black-Eyed Susans, plays her cards close to her chest, careful to give away little about the motivations of either of her characters, as her heroine edges closer to the truth'
A THRILLER OF THE MONTH, The Guardian
Heaberlin knows exactly how to create a feeling of suspense. The kind of fear that that creeps up on you from behind. It is a compelling and sinister, character-driven read.
Cheryl M-M's Book Blog
Heaberlin's works beautifully evoke the texture and landscape of the state of Texas . . . Their road trip across Texas results in profound revelations, strange occurrences, and a surprisingly heartwarming ending
Molly Odintz, Crimereads
Gripping . . . dementia suits crime fiction. Is the suspect lying or has a medical reason for his amnesia?
The Times
A beautifully written, gripping and extraordinary book
Sophie Hannah, bestselling author of The Narrow Bed
Every journey reaches its end, and the one in Paper Ghosts comes on fast and furious. Signposts along the way warn of angst, secrets and deadly plot twists, but you'll never see what's coming . . .
Washington Post
Wonderful . . . creepy . . . it elevates the often tawdry genre of the serial killer novel to a work of art
Sunday Express
Heaberlin's latest thriller is at once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography
The Sunday Times
A rich hybrid work that's at once a zany dialogue-propelled town-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography
Sunday Times Paperbacks Round Up
Finding something new to say about serial killers is almost impossible these days, but Heaberlin's approach is completely original and all shades of menacing
Crime Fiction Lover, 5 Women to Watch in 2019
My crime novel of 2018. It's a stunning page turner of a book which kept me gripped throughout. It's a book that has stayed with me beyond the last chapter and I'm recommending it to everyone
Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones
Praise for Black-Eyed Susans
-
Creepy and compelling, Black-Eyed Susans is a shadowy and crooked journey to a very dark place indeed, a twisty fairytale that deceives you just when you think you've cracked it and a thriller to make you remember why you love thrillers. Don't miss it
Observer, Thriller of the Month
Black Eyed Susans is a compelling read, especially for Serial fans
Cosmopolitan
Black-Eyed Susans is a masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed . . . and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling... is outstanding. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early novels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn's Gone Girl and now Heaberlin's Black-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it
Washington Post
A truly compelling tale of the fragility of memory and elusive redemption
Kirkus Reviews
It's a terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension
The Times BOOK OF THE MONTH
One of the classiest thrillers you'll read this year
Charlotte Heathcote, The Express
Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings
Woman and Home
Terrific. Impeccable plotting
Barry Forshaw
This book haunted me. Such a gripping exploration of obsession and loss: of those we love, but also our memories and sense of self. The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!
