The Frozen Dead

Reviews / Votes

A publishing sensation in France, where it's rushed up the bestseller lists, this is Minier's first crime novel and this translation justifies its vast French reputation...With a villain possessing the intelligence of Thomas Harris's immortal Hannibal Lecter, this is great story-telling, with a creeping sense of dread that would not disgrace Stephen King at his best. * Daily Mail * A terrific thriller that will keep you up long past your bedtime. The French Pyrenees make a wonderfully atmospheric setting for this complex story of past crimes, madness and revenge. Servaz and Ziegler are a fascinating cop duo, and I hope to see more of them in the future. Excellent. -- Peter Robinson, author of the DCI Banks series Revenge is at the heart of this clever mystery, which involves a plot as cold-blooded as the slaying of the horse * Sunday Times * This densely written and very atmospheric thriller is Minier's first novel. It has been a bestseller in France and, in this well-translated English edition, deserves to be one here * Literary Review * An enjoyable and fast-paced thriller * Sunday Business Post * Chilling * Elle * The writing is razor sharp and nothing goes to waste. Enough to make other authors jealous. * Femme Actuelle * THE FROZEN DEAD is a boiling-hot success * Le Point * Remember the name Bernard Minier... he might well take his places among the masters of French thrillers * Le Figaro *
