'It takes my breath away, it is so accomplished' Ruth Rendell
'Excellent; Donna Tartt has discovered not the usual collegiate mix of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but a heart of darkness as stony and chilling as any Greek tragedian ever plumbed. A thinking person's thriller' Newsday
'Enthralling. Imagine the plot of Dostoyevesky's Crime and Punishment crossed with the story of Euripides' Bacchae set against the backdrop of Brett Easton Ellis's Rules of Attraction. Ferociously well-paced, remarkably powerful' New York Times
'Brilliant' Sunday Times
