The Search Party

- Reviews -

Clever and atmospheric, with shades of Stand By Me -- Mark Edwards A brilliantly tense tale with a whirlwind of an ending that' s like riding a rollercoaster -- Araminta Hall A bloody good read and the very definition of unpredictable . . . Twisty, creepy, brilliantly paced and with a denouement I never saw coming -- John Marrs A chillingly complex, well-crafted web. The voices cry out from Simon Lelic' s pages as if they are standing right next to you -- Jane Corry The Search Party is a marvel: intricate, complex and utterly gripping -- Alex Lake A thriller that grabs you by the throat and never lets go. Taut, compelling and occasionally terrifying -- Elly Griffiths Unpredictable, wildly original and with an ending that made me gasp, this is thriller writing at its very best -- Nuala Ellwood Psychologically compelling and deeply moving . . . Simon Lelic just gets better and better -- Dervla McTiernan Wow! I have been totally gripped by this riveting read for the past few days. I was captivated by the chapters told from the search party' s perspective. I felt as though I was right there in their heads. The setting was perfect, atmospheric and chilling. The story, riveting and compelling. The characters, intriguing and suspenseful. Fantastic read! -- Carla Kovach Simon Lelic is on my radar from this point forward. The Search Party is taut, beautifully written, and scary as hell, with more twists than a mountain road -- Christina Dalcher I loved this book, from one of my favourite authors. You' ll definitely want to read this absorbing, creepy, and totally unputdownable novel -- Luca Veste I raced through The Search Party, unable to put it down. It' s tense, twisty and intricately plotted, with characters that stay with you long after you' ve read the last page -- Laura Marshall A brilliantly original story with an immediately intriguing cast of characters and a compelling mystery that kept me hooked throughout. With his insightful characterisation combined with a gripping plot, Lelic has just recruited a brand new fan -- Philippa East A masterful, original . . . A thriller and a half -- Michael Wood
