The Long Shadow by Mark Mills
A startling novel of childhood, secrets and a history that refuses to be buried from the author of the No 1 bestselling THE SAVAGE GARDEN - a must for any fan of William Boyd.
Part psychological thriller, part mystery this [is a] stylish tale.. extremely readable * Sunday Mirror *
A clever, teasing hybrid of genres (psychological thriller, dark comedy, Pardoner's Tale and dystopia)...fraught with tensions about money, class and the super rich....This is a taught, gripping psychodrama and a wonderful twisted take on the 'wild divergences' of contemporary Britain * Spectator Magazine *
[T]he author's gift for an elegantly turned sentence is fully and generously in evidence * Express *
Mark Mills has shown that he is a writer of real psychological acuity - but there is one area he has made his own: the untrustworthiness of appearances, and the pitfalls for those who make no attempt to look beneath seductive, attractive surfaces...his most richly textured work yet * Independent *
I really enjoyed this book... The plot is excellent and as a reader we're not sure what is genuine and what is sabotage until near the end -- NewBooks Magazine
A master storyteller -- Val McDermid
A master of the art of murderous storytelling * The Sunday Times *
Clever, original, subtle and stylish * Observer *
