Critics Review
-
Unpredictable, wildly original and with an ending that made me gasp, this is thriller writing at its very best
Nuala Ellwood
-
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

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
