Critic reviews

Early praise for The Countdown Killer

'A seriously dark, twisted, nail-bitingly tense thrill ride of a book' Cressida McLaughlin, author of The Happy Hour and The Staycation

'What a ride! From the off, The Countdown Killer plunges you into dark and gripping action, with DCI Cara Elliott receiving a DVD of a snuff film late at night in the police station. Our favourites from the Major Crimes team are all back – damaged by the past but still fighting. The characters are supremely drawn, the tension edge-of-your-seat and the finale left me in tears. Holland is a writer who hit her stride with The Echo Man and delivers every time. A body blow of a thriller. Absolutely brilliant' Heather Critchlow, author of Unsolved

Praise for Sam Holland

‘Smart and brooding, icepick-sharp and shadow-dark; best of all, though, it’s scary as hell. Think you’re tough? Pick up this novel and prove it’ A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

‘Fast and furious, Sam Holland doesn’t take her foot off the pedal for a second’ Victoria Selman, author of Truly Darkly Deeply

‘If you like crime that’s dark, twisted, and keeps you up all night, Holland is the author for you’ Jack Jordan, author of Do No Harm
