Recensione:

Alex had me gripped more than almost any book I can remember, with one shout-out-aloud knockout twist after another (Peter James)

MacLehose has done it again . . . in Pierre Lemaitre he has unearthed another master of crime fiction destined to become a household name. (Adam Sage The Times.)

Grippingly original . . . It enthralls at every stage of its unpredictability. (Marcel Berlins The Times.)

Moves from read-as-fast-as-you-can horror to an intricately plotted race to a dark truth . . . Alex is about thrills. (Alison Flood Observer.)

An invigoratingly scary, one-sitting read. (Laura Wilson Guardian.)

'An absolute gem' (Eurocrime)

'Brutal crime writing with a tinge of Gauloise ... brilliant' (Daily Mail)

'Relentlessly gripping, Lemaitre is worthy of all the fuss' (Independent)

'Hailed as the most important crime novel in translation since Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Alex similarly features as an intriguingly flawed feminist heroine bent on vengeance, and will likely prove a sensation of the crime fiction year' Irish Times. (Irish Times)

'Moves from read-as-fast-as-you-can horror to an intricately plotted race to a dark truth' Alison Flood, Observer. (Observer)
