Honestly, THIS is what a thriller should be!
As a long time fan of Catherine Ryan Howard, and having read all of her crime fiction to date, I can attest to the fact that she is not a one trick pony. She does mystery, suspense, and all around thrilling storylines with the ease of a seasoned vet, and I am hard pressed to choose a favorite novel that she has written because they're all so engaging. The beauty of The Nothing Man is that the reader is acquainted with the identity of the killer in the first chapter, thus removing the barrier of distraction surrounding the "whodunnit twist" and returning the focus on controlling the anticipation of the game of cat and mouse at hand. The ebb and flow of tension is expertly achieved, and the small details included, such as the author's name on the acknowledgements of Eve Black's book, really put this over the top. If you enjoy top notch thrilling entertainment featuring a book within a book, you desperately need to get your hands on this book!
*Many thanks to the publisher for providing my review copy.

I actually really enjoy reading on my kindle/phone, so this has been a wonderful excuse to focus more on the reading, rather than social media promoting aspect of reviewing!
I would love to hear your thoughts on this one

Agree with all of the above. Just finished the audiobook. I loved listening to it. So good.
So true - this was great! Wonderful review.
Just finished! Five stars for me too and definitely an auto buy author now. Still have a couple backlist to read.
This was amazing as an audiobook, i was listening to the end this morning when i shoulda been cozy in bed...but was legit shivering. Talk about setting a scene 😱😬
I need to read this!
