The Collector

Reviews / Votes

One of the most atmospheric novels you will ever encounter - you will feel the sea air in your lungs and the terror in your dreams. A crime novel of the very first order. -- <b>David Baldacci</b> Trust me - Cummins is a keeper -- <b>Lee Child</b> A riveting read that will keep you up at night * Hello! * Rattle was one of the most chilling and gripping thrillers released last year. The Collector [. . .] is even more creepy and unsettling with tension slowly ramped up to build to a sensational finale that will make you gasp. * Daily Express * Cummins has a gift for imbuing the everyday with menace. Despite the picture postcard coastal setting, the seam of evil that runs through this story is totally convincing. * Sunday Mirror * If you haven't read Fiona Cummins and you're a Mo Hayder fan, make sure you read her first book and then her second. With the lights on -- <b>Emma Flint</b> Totally, totally brilliant. Even more twisted than the first one. A whole another level of serial killer awesome -- <b>Lisa Hall</b> Spine-chilling and brilliant, beautifully written, creepily clever and utterly absorbing - just like Rattle -- <b>Karen Hamilton</b> Chilling, superbly constructed, taut, evocative, her prose sings as she holds you tight in her grip and relentlessly ratchets up the tension. Compelling. -- <b>Sarah Vaughan, </b>author of the highly anticipated <i>Anatomy of a Scandal</i> The Collector is sensational. Fiona Cummins is a twisted genius writing with a silver pen. This is crime at its grisly and glorious best -- <b>Amanda Jennings</b> Every bit as compelling as Rattle, with a dark, suspenseful plotline that had me holding my breath. The characters are so well drawn: the Collector himself is terrifying and the vulnerability of his victims really draws the reader in, making you yearn for justice and wonder how the nightmare will ever end . . . Brilliant, scary, creepy read -- <b>Debbie Howells</b> An excellent read -- Martina Cole on <i>Rattle</i> It's a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition -- Val McDermid on <i>Rattle</i> Made a paranoid hypochondriac for a few days! -- Sophie Hannah on <i>Rattle</i> Dark, stylish and scarily plausible -- Joseph Knox on <i>Rattle</i> Seriously creepy and very well written. One that'll have you double checking your doors are locked at night -- Ali Land on <i>Rattle</i> A creepy crime debut with shades of Babadook about it . . . I think it will be huge -- Sarah Hilary on <i>Rattle</i>
