Review
Utterly chilling and enthralling from the first line to the last. (Karen Maitland)
An unflinching journey, chilling and insightful, into the darker reaches of the human mind. (Michelle Spring)
The final twist is stunning. (Online blogger Fleur Fisher)
This is not just a crime novel or a psychological thriller. I like that. Ian Rankin chose to be a crime novelist because he realised that a detective was the perfect tool to prise open the lid of society. He’s a serious novelist masquerading as a crime fiction writer and I believe the same is true of Ruth Dugdall. (Jim Murdoch, author and blogger)
Those who have read the debut novel and expect a sucker punch twist in the tale will not be disappointed, Dugdall bowls a googlie you surely cannot expect coming. (Shotsmag)
I had shivers at the end... it was refreshing to read a modern crime novel with a younger, female, detective, and the insight in the probation service was fascinating. (Forbookssake)
The book is not straightforward for as soon as the reader thinks that they know where it is leading, Ruth Dugdall throws a curve to keep you guessing. The characters are real and three dimensional - they walk among us...a must read novel. (BrokenTrails.blogspot)
The book is heartily recommended... and the author is one to watch. (TheBookbag.co.uk)
Dugdall challenges our preconceptions on just about every emotive topic out there. Bold and clever in her storytelling, she forces a spotlight into the darkest corners of humanity. (The Truth About Books)
I’d highly recommend “The Sacrificial Man”. It is one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time. The plotting is excellent and the books easy to read nature while touching on so many dark subjects make it a “must-read”. (Books you Love)
