Fantastic - he has raised the standard of modern crime writing - J Wallis MartinQuotes for John ConnollyEVERY DEAD THING:a genuine, gripping page-turner which shreds the nerves and is certain to be one of the thrillers of 1999- Mike Ripley, Crime Critic of the Daily TelegraphPainstaking research, superb characterisation, and an ability to tell a story that's chilling and thought provoking make this a terrific thriller - MirrorUS reviews:Buy it and be scared - The Times'As chilling a story as has come along recently. Mr. Connolly's first novel will be hard to top. He has created a multilayered work that draws the reader ever deeper into an abyss of pain and madness. Compelling as well as repellent in concept and execution, this tale of serial murders is filled with fascinating characters and motivations, blending horror, compulsion and fear in a tightly planned thriller.'
