Praise for The Darker Side: Smoky Barrett, Book 3

  • Cody McFadyen writes the kind of gut-wrenching, fast-paced thrillers that keep you hooked, and terrified, right to the very end. - Simon KernickMcfadyen proved with his first two books that lie is an accomplished exponent of the serial-killer thriller and here he once again displays his ability to create terrifying scenarios as he takes the reader down some very dark alleys - Canberra TimesNot just another scary-as-hell serial killer novel (although it is that in spades)...shocking, gruesome, and terrifying...it may also move you to tears...a perfect book for fans of Deaver, Koontz and King - Amazon.com (Editor's Pick) on THE FACE OF DEATHMcfadyen is a supremely gifted storyteller. THE DARKER SIDE is an utterly compelling thriller. - Booklist starred reviewThis gritty novel is a fun and fast read for thriller fans; recommended - Library JournalReaders of Cody Mcfadyen's previous books - SHADOW MAN and THE FACE OF DEATH - will recognise descriptions in the reviews of both titles: shocking... gruesome... terrifying... scary... brilliant. Well, I wouldn't argue against his latest serial-killer outing, THE DARKER SIDE, receiving more of the same, and in spades...I found myself desperate to know who the killer was and why he or she was doing it. And surely that is what good thriller writing is all about. - Shots MagCody is one of those rare writers who have the gift of using words to scare you...There are scenes in this book that will chill you to the bone, but once you start it, there's no turning back, you simply have to finish it - Books Monthly www.gatewaymonthly.co.ukColdly, stunningly brilliant. Move over Thomas Harris, Mcfadyen has brought a new game to town. - Lisa Gardner on SHADOW MAN
