\u201cAs ever, Hannah excels.\u00a0 <\/span>Her books are so distinctive that they deserve to be placed in a separate sub-genre of their own.\u201d
\n<\/span>Spectator<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Hannah] confirms in this, her eighth novel, her fluent writing skills, taste for complicated layers and deft hand with character, not to mention a knack for producing compelling openings.\u00a0 <\/span>The Carrier<\/em> is the kind of puzzle Agatha Christie might have created.\u00a0 <\/span>Delicate, with ever-increasing dread, it is a mature work – full of confidence and intrigue.\u201d
\nDaily Mail<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

“Absorbing, intricate\u2026 Here the rewarding bonuses are poetry\u2019s role in the plot and a playful reworking of the Agatha Christie formula\u2026The Carrier<\/em> is a vicarage whodunit as as well as a psychological thriller.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span>Sunday Times<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA labyrinth of a psychological thriller\u2026Hannah is masterly at leading the reader down the wrong path and here she excels once again.\u2019\u201d

\u201cHighly original.\u00a0 <\/span>Hannah has once again ripped up the industry-standard \u201cA to Z of Writing a Whodunnit\u201d and audaciously charted her own course to produce a novel that is a classy, compulsive and chilling literary triumph.\u201d
\nIrish Independent <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSuch is the author\u2019s command of narrative, we find ourselves glued to the page. We remain hooked throughout this compelling novel.\u201d

\u201cThe queen of the ingenious plot twist.\u201d
\nGood Housekeeping<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe genius of Hannah’s domestic thrillers \u2013 along with the twistiest plots known to woman \u2013 is that she\u00a0creates ordinary people whose psychological quirks make them as monstrous as any serial killer.\u201d
