Review:
Praise for" The Carrier"
"The genius of Hannah's domestic thrillers - along with the twistiest plots known to woman - is that she creates ordinary people whose psychological quirks make them as monstrous as any serial killer." - "The Guardian"
"Well executed twists and turns . . . Hannah is a gifted writer" - "Scotland on Sunday"
"Contemporary in its intent and setting, the novel is also a pleasingly old-fashioned 'locked room' mystery, with Hannah referencing Agatha Christie a number of times. All told, it's a very satisfying addition to Hannah's canon." - "Irish Times"
"This complex plot demands and rewards attention, thanks to a fantastic cast and some superior, atmospheric prose . . . Thrilling." - "South China Morning Post"
"The queen of the ingenious plot twist" - "Good Housekeeping"
"Brilliant" - "The Bookseller "
"[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 . . . [THE CARRIER] is the kind of puzzle Agatha Christie might have created. Delicate, with ever-increasing dread, it is a mature work - full of confidence and intrigue." - "Daily Mail "
"Absorbing, intricate . . . Here the rewarding bonuses are poetry's role in the plot and a playful reworking of the Agatha Christie formula . . . THE CARRIER is a vicarage whodunit as well as a psychological thriller." - "The Sunday Times "
"It is brilliantly constructed, and it had me, screaming, on the edge of my chair." - "Reader's Digest "
Praise for" The Carrier"
"Hannah's psychologically dense police procedurals probe at their characters to reveal their inner lives and intentions as few others do, and this--her eighth featuring Waterhouse and his wife, Charlie Zailer--shows her proficiency by taking interior examinations to new levels. Winner of the 2013 British National Book Awards' Crime Thriller of the Year, this is another example of Hannah's mastery of psychological suspense." - "Booklist "(starred review)
"Hannah bores down deep into her tiny cast's secret lives, then still deeper...Fans will love the endlessly knotty complications." - "Kirkus Reviews"

"Hannah's police procedurals...elevate the whydunit as well as the more standard whodunit to a high art. By delving deep into the most basic-yet-twisted psychological elements that drive apparently normal human beings to perform dastardly deeds such as homicide, Hannah creates truly chilling novels that strike a nimble balance between the joys of her detectives' insights and humor and a true, intractable sense of all-too-real menace." - "The Boston Globe"
