Books in the Media

Our authors have received some fabulous press this week!

Kirkus have offered a brilliant review of Hannah Kaner’s GODKILLER, calling it “An un-put-down-able start to an engrossing low-fantasy trilogy bordering on grimdark.”

Ahead of THE LAST DEVIL TO DIE’s publication on 14th September, Richard Osman has received some stellar reviews.

In their Crime and thriller review round-up, The Guardian said: “Osman doesn’t disappoint… We all need a regular injection of the Thursday Murder Club to keep our spirits up.”

Richard was interviewed by Charlotte Edwardes about his new book in The Guardian print magazine:

iNews calls Richard Osman the “rightful King of Crime” and writes that his fourth book is his best one yet:

“The Last Devil to Die is the fourth in Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, and it is even better than the previous instalments. All have been monster bestsellers, record-breakers, and this one will join them, and it is wholly and entirely deserved. There, I’ve said it…As usual, his dialogue is pin-sharp – each person is distinct and has their own voice, and none of them, amazingly, resembles the author himself in the slightest.”

For The Times, Robert Crampton writes about The Last Devil to Die and why he thinks The Thursday Murder Club series has been so successful generally. We especially like this bit: “Osman is a versatile writer. He can do comedy, pathos, pace, plot and social observation. His brevity is commendably ruthless.”

Amazon Book Review named The Last Devil to Die a most anticipated book! In their review, Vannessa Cronin writes: “If you told us it would be possible to both laugh hysterically and bawl like a baby while reading a mystery…well, Richard Osman is a genius, is all we’ll say.”

Barnes and Noble have recommended the audiobook in their list of ‘16 Mysterious Audiobook Listens for Every Mystery Lover’, concluding that "The pairing of the versatile [Fiona] Shaw with the equally versatile Osman is an audiobook casting match made in Mystery Heaven."

Library Journal released their review of The Last Devil to Die. Their verdict is: “Osman follows The Bullet That Missed with a bittersweet mystery about the problems facing many older people: dementia, computer fraud, death. Humor does, however, alleviate the poignancy in this strongest, most emotional book in the best-selling series.”
