Reviews
A really thrilling read, satisfying on every level.
Tense, edgy and nerve-wracking. I loved it!
Had me gripped throughout, with a heroine worth rooting for. Recommended for fans of The Dry.
Deeply unsettling with twists and flips that kept me guessing.
Lake Child is a clever, unpredictable psychological thriller where Eve Olsen isn't the only one unable to unravel the truth from the lies. Beautifully crafted and satisfying.
There are twists upon twists in this exceptional crime novel, but what lingers most in the mind are the characters. A beautifully-written, and ultimately very moving, story about the families we have and the families we find. I loved it.
Fiendishly clever
Beautifully written as always, with an original and compelling mystery at its heart, 'Lake Child' might just be Isabel Ashdown's best book yet.
A stylish, confident thriller which makes brilliant use of its ice-bound Nordic setting. The novel's razor-sharp dialogue and clever plotting make Lake Child hard to put down.
