Recensione:

"Brilliant."
— The New York Times Book Review

"Brilliantly written ... rich in texture and rife with atmosphere that's beautifully described.... A terrifying thriller."
— New York Post

"As compelling a novel as I've read this year."
— The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)

"An unusual and compelling novel ... with great skill, Pyper brings his material together to a genuinely surprising climax."
— Chicago Tribune

"Dazzling ... compulsively readable ... I don't know what's more seductive about Lost Girls, author Andrew Pyper's scabrously witty, darkly musical language or the psychological pull of his plot."
— The Boston Globe
