Reviews / Votes
Surprising. Sinister. Compulsive. First, Buried turns all your expectations of a serial-killer thriller onto their head, then twists land with the power of aftershocks all the way to a totally unpredictable ending. Elle Croft's latest cries out to be read in one breathless sitting * Jo Furniss * Ever since I heard the premise for Elle Croft's new book I was desperate to have a read, and this didn't disappoint! Layering on the peril and tension with each chapter, Buried is a thriller that will keep you breathlessly turning the pages, desperate to reach an ending that will haunt you long after you've finished. 2022 readers have a treat in store! * Louisa Scarr * An outrageously cunning and claustrophobic spin on the serial killer genre * Robert Scragg * I just finished Elle Croft's Buried and not sure I breathed once. I've been buried underground with a serial killer on the loose. Heart only beginning to slow now. Look over your shoulder, people! * Rachael Blok * A high concept serial-killer thriller that delivers on its premise. A dark twisty tale about survival, humanity and how one may erode the other. Full of Croft's trademark moral conundrums, the story races along at breakneck speed to a shocking conclusion! * N.J. Mackay * Buried is an intense battle of wills between a serial killer and their victim when they are trapped underground together after a massive earthquake. This is an excellent concept that is seen through with great skill with the battle for survival intensifying as the victim begins to learn who the serial killer is and what he is capable of. * James Delargy *More details
