Reviews / Votes
An exceptional thriller that blew me away with its original, high-octane plot, jaw-dropping twists and characters I cared about. When I wasn't reading The Drift I was thinking about it. A writer at the top of her game -- CLAIRE DOUGLAS A truly terrifying, ice-cold chiller from the master of macabre. C.J. Tudor should be on everyone's must-read list -- CHRIS WHITAKER Chilling . . . Her most complex and terrifying yet. The three intriguing locked-room mysteries in an eerie end-of-the-world setting provide the springboard for an enjoyable, fast-paced and captivating thrill ride. You'll be on tenterhooks throughout as the story builds inexorably to a grand reveal and a shocking finale * Sunday Express * C.J. Tudor is a genre fiction pioneer. With every new book, she manages to achieve what most writers can only dream of, and The Drift is no exception. Taut, action-packed and oh-so-clever, this thrilling rollercoaster of a ride takes the reader on a journey into the frozen unknown * FIONA CUMMINS * Whoa! I raced through this in a couple of days. SO good, SO gripping, SO clever. A runaway train of a book -- JANE FALLON Sublimely executed, this is a dystopian thriller of real class. * Daily Mail * Fast-paced with twists and thrills, this brutally chilling novel will keep you on tenterhooks * Crime Monthly * Atmospheric, with suspense dialled up to the max, and at times heavily claustrophobic, this is a page-turner which flirts heavily with horror and delivers on all counts * Crime Time * A chilling, captivating thrill ride * Sunday Express * Fast-paced atmospheric story * Candis *More details
