Good Samaritans by Will Carver
Dark, disturbing and fiendishly clever domestic noir one of the psychological thrillers of the year SELECTED AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH AND DAILY EXPRESS
"Beautiful, gripping and disturbing in equal measure, a postcard from the razor's edge of the connected world we live in" --Kevin Wignall "Sick . . . in the best possible way. Will Carver delivers a delicious slice of noir that will have you reeling." --Michael J. Malone "Will Carver's invigoratingly nasty novel . . . is a bleak vision of life: not the whole truth of it, thank god, but true enough to impart to the reader the thrill of genuine discomfort, presented with the chilly conviction of Simenon's most unflinching romans dues and just as horribly addictive." --Telegraph "So dark, so cool." --Heat Magazine "Possibly the most interesting and original writer in the crime-fiction genre, and I've loved his books for years. Good Samaritans is his best to date--dark, slick, gripping, and impossible to put down. You'll be sucked in from the first page." --Luca Veste "Oh My God, Good Samaritans is amazing. I'm a little in love with your writing Will Carver." --Helen FitzGerald, author, The Cry "Must Read!" --Daily Express "In this frantic read in sheer overdrive, Carver appeals to the worst voyeur in all of us and delivers the goods with a punch and a fiendish sense of pace and dark humour . . . my type of noir." --Crime Time "If you're looking for a genuinely creepy thriller, checkout Good Samaritans . . . completely enthralled." --Margaret B Madden "Carver weaves these strands together for an unsettling but compelling mixture of the banal, the horrific and, at times, the near-comic, wrong-footing the reader at every turn." --Guardian
