How far will Sasha have to go to prove what she knows is the truth? You will be desperate to know how this dark, disturbing tale ends.

Riveting. MINE perfectly encapsulates the tension between intuition and intellect in the vortex of anxiety after childbirth

I raced through, unable to stop reading until I found out what was really going on. Gripping and thought provoking about motherhood and mental health. I loved it

Chilling and suspenseful, Mine bristles with paranoia, keeping you guessing until the very end. A gripping read

MINE is a true nerve-shredder, drawing you in until you're virtually screaming for resolution. Highly recommended. Susi Fox is a bright new star

Taps into a deep, subliminal fear. I was so absorbed that when a friend tapped me on the shoulder, I jumped out of my skin

Digs deep to examine the dark side of motherhood - mental illness, failure, violent thoughts - and refuses to look away. Mine throws into question the sanity of the narrator, the trustworthiness of doctors and the reader's understanding of right and wrong

Utterly compelling and brilliantly confounding. A novel where all possible explanations are suspect - even your own

Compelling, dark, and claustrophobic. The setting is oppressive - a hospital that is the stuff of nightmares - and Fox's medical background lends credibility and fascinating detail that renders it all the more unsettling. I couldn't sleep until I finished it . . . and then I couldn't sleep at all

Gripping, creepy and nail-biting

Powerful, insightful and all too believable. Not knowing what is real and what isn't is the most frightening experience of all

Susi Fox has crafted a paranoia-inducing read

This is another great new James Bond novel from Horowitz, who’s filling the shoes of Ian Fleming with apparent ease.

Highly enjoyable.

Horowitz proves himself so adept at getting inside the iconic character, and Fleming’s writing style, that it’s difficult to see the join. Rip-roaringly recommended.

Horowitz…captures the mood, pace and style of Fleming very well… the story thunders along with action galore in the Bond tradition. It whets the appetite for the 25th Bond film.

A rattling good thriller from an undoubted master of the genre.

It would be hard to think of a cooler narrator for Anthony Horowitz’s new James Bond book than Matthew Goode... His elegant, assured diction matches Bond’s nicely… This is an amusing and politically thought-provoking addition to the post-Fleming Bond canon

Backman knows how to construct a thrilling plot, and what he writes engages . . . And when he hits his stride among the emotions, the sentimental turns into an asset - like a hockey puck straight to the heart

It's obvious that Fredrik Backman loves sports and no one is as good at evoking feelings as he is. You are thrown between laughter and tears in the space of one sentence to the next. At the same time, this might be his most earnest and serious, if you can understand what I mean, novel to date. It takes an even bigger grip on the world than the previous novel in the series did.

child, the result would be the work of Swedish writer Fredrik Backman /

his previous novel Beartown to chronicle the passion, violence,
resilience, and humanity of the people who live there in this engrossing
tale of small-town Swedish life /.../ Backman's excellent novel has an
atmosphere of both Scandinavian folktale and Greek tragedy. Darkness
and grit exist alongside tenderness and levity, creating a blunt realismthat brings the setting's small-town atmosphere to vivid life.

Backman explores violence, political maneuvering, communities,
feminism, sexuality, criminality, the role of sports in society, and whatmakes us all tick.

The sequel to Beartown is finally here, and it does not disappoint.

This is a tale of the pitfalls of group mentality as well as the loss of an
innocence we all take for granted - and it will grip you from start to finish.

Just as the cult TV hit Friday Night Lights wasn't just about high-school
football, this sequel to Beartown is about more than small-town hockey.
