Three Little Birds

Reviews / Votes

Sam Blake is the modern-day Agatha Christie -- Steve Cavanagh I was totally absorbed in this mystery - Sam Blake blends complex plotting with clever characterisation and a total mastery of forensic investigation that gives her work great authenticity. Three Little Birds is as immersive and chilling as lake water itself. I had to know how it was going to end! -- Jane Casey Once again, Sam Blake has created a wonderfully complicated protagonist in Carla Steele, a tenacious and whipsmart facial reconstruction expert. As Carla puts flesh on the bones of a skull, Blake adds layers to the skeleton of the story with vivid characterisation and intriguing plotting. She is as forensic as her character and this story is told so authentically that it feels like a real life investigation told in real time. Griptastic! -- Liz Nugent Pacy, immersive and wholly absorbing, Three Little Birds hooks you from the first page right through to the nail-biting end. This is Sam Blake at her masterful best. -- Andrea Mara A cracker of a crime novel * Irish Examiner * A gripping and fascinating read with a generous helping of those expert forensic and procedural nuggets that Sam Blake's many fans have come to expect. More please! -- Catherine Kirwan Peopled by fantastic characters -- Sarah Hilary A masterclass in twisty-turny suspense' * RTE Culture * Compelling characters, a gripping plot, and fascinating forensic details -- Roz Watkins Incredibly detailed expert knowledge combines with a brilliantly gripping plot and sensitively drawn characters to create a fast paced, compelling mystery. Utterly captivating! -- Victoria Dowd Highly entertaining * Irish Independent * A gripping and dark thriller, perfect for the fireside * The Gloss *
