Items related to Red Leaves
In this affecting crime novel, shortlisted for both the Edgar and the Duncan Lawrie Dagger, Eric Moore watches his safe, solid world disintegrate. When eight-year-old Amy Giordano disappears from her family's house, while Keith, Eric's teenage son, is babysitting, Keith becomes an obvious suspect, and even his parents have misgivings. As time passes without Amy being found, a corrosive suspicion seeps into every aspect of Eric's life. That suspicion is fed by Eric's shaky family history - a father whose plans failed, an alcoholic older brother, a younger sister who died aged seven and a mother driven to suicide. Not even Eric's loving wife, Meredith, is immune from his doubts as he begins to examine and re-examine every aspect of his life. The totally unexpected resolution is both shocking and perfectly apt.

Review:
Thomas Cook writes like a wounded angel and Red Leaves is one of his masterworks. Sorrow, suspicion, fear and forgiveness hang suspended over an almost unbearably increasing tension. In Cook's hands, the crime novel, if that's what this is, moves firmly into literature' Peter Straub.
'Red Leaves is one of the best novels you'll read this year - gripping, beautifully written, surprising and devastating. Thomas H. Cook has long been one of my favourite writers. Red Leaves will show you why' Harlan Coben.
'A splendid if painful destruction of the American dream by everyday evil you won't be able to put it down' Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian.
'Red Leaves is a brilliant description of how a seemingly perfect life can fall apart all because of one phone call. Outstanding and so very melancholic' Independent on Sunday.
'...a cracking book ... deserves to put Cook up in the top bracket among readers as well as fellow writers' Manchester Evening News.
'A terrific piece of work' Guardian. --Reviews.
