All Of Us Are Broken

Reviews / Votes

An elegiac and adrenaline-fuelled ride, and as dark, sleek and dangerous as the murderous couple at the story's heart. In a strong field, this may be my favourite Fiona Cummins novel yet! -- C M Ewan, author of <i>The House Hunt</i> Savage, heartbreaking, beautiful and chilling. Fiona Cummins rips up the rule book in this quite brilliant story of love and loss, murder and redemption -- Chris Whitaker, author of <i>All the Colours of the Dark</i> This thriller has it all: a darkly charismatic detective, a pair of merciless killers and a propulsive plot that builds towards a devastating finale. -- T. M. Logan, author of <i>The Mother</i> and <i>The Daughter</i> A gripping thriller. All those damaged characters harbouring secrets. Absolutely intriguing. Loved it. -- Liz Nugent, author of <i>Strange Sally Diamond</i> All of Us Are Broken is a master class in suspense. . . An adrenaline ride with several layers of profound substance, a reader can't ask for more than that -- David Baldacci, author of <i>The 6:20 Man</i> Wow, this book is amazing. I was gripped, terrified and mesmerised all at the same time. I won't be able to stop thinking about it for months (no, YEARS) to come. -- B P Walter, author of <i>The Dinner Guest</i> and <i>The Treehouse</i> Fiona Cummins writes a belter of a thriller. Such a powerful story and a gut punching final chapter -- Joanna Cannon, author of <i>Three Things About Elsie</i> Can't remember the last time such a gripping crime narrative blended so seamlessly with an emotional, weepy family drama -- Erin Kelly, author of <i>The Skeleton Key</i> A phenomenal thriller -- Olivia Kiernan, author of <i>Play Dead for Me</i> Such an original and gripping read, it kept me hooked from the dramatic opening pages. Talk about a nail-biting start -- Sarah Pearse, author of <i>The Sanatorium</i> A visceral, aching novel from a writer at the top of her game -- Lisa Ballantyne, author of <i>The Innocent One</i> This book is brilliant, brutal and dark. It will shock and enthral, and it may break your heart -- Sarah Hilary, author of <i>Sharp Glass</i> Utterly addictive, utterly heartbreaking -- Nikki Smith, author of <i>They Had It Coming</i> Devising an engaging high-concept hook is one of the hardest things an author can achieve. Executing it well is tougher yet. This book made me cry. Twice. Highly recommended -- Ed James, author of <i>The Turning of our Bones</i> Fearless. Visceral. Heartbreaking. Fiona Cummins takes a deep dive into the brutality and the humanity that coexist inside each and every one of us -- Tammy Cohen, author of <i>The Wedding Party</i> I don't think anyone else writes such emotional, beautiful, devastating crime books as Fiona Cummins. I really will need to recover from this one -- Louise Swanson, author of <i>End of Story</i> A powerful, emotional and thrilling story, told with white-knuckle pace and breath-holding heart -- Jo Callaghan, author of <i>In The Blink of An Eye</i> and <i>Humain Remains</i> You'll want to hug your loved ones close after reading this pitch dark thrill-ride filled with impossible, heart-breaking choices. Incredible -- Susi Holliday, author of <i>The Last Resort</i> A nerve shredding journey into the heart of darkness. Fans of Luther and Mo Hayder will love it -- Mark Edwards, author of <i>Here To Stay</i> and <i>The Psychopath Next Door</i> All Of Us Are Broken is Fiona Cummins' modern retelling of the Bonnie and Clyde story, transplanted from the American heartland to the Scottish Highlands. Cummins uses her considerable skills to meditate on the pervasive nature of violence in our contemporary society. A dark and bloody ride. -- Vaseem Khan A rare and exquisite novel, and one that marks Fiona Cummins out as one of our bravest crime writers (not to mention one of the best). Unbearably tense, devastatingly dark, but ultimately a homage to love and survival. -- Caz Frear, author of <i>Five Bad Deeds</i> Gripping and page-turnery and all those good things but also keeps you right on the edge of heartbreak. Stunning. -- Laura Marshall, author of <i>Friend Request</i> A fantastic read -- Lesley Kara, author of <i>The Other Tenant</i> and <i>The Rumour</i>
