'A literary thriller - complex, gripping and a beautiful read.' Jenni Murray

'An elegant, gripping, multi-layered tale about the illusory nature of truth and memory. I loved it.' Tammy Cohen

'The Book of Mirrors is exactly what I look for in a thriller: a great concept, brilliantly executed, smarter than it seems and knotty enough to keep you guessing. Like the best stories about memory, it leaves the reader wondering what's true and what isn't.' - James Smythe

‘This Romanian author's debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration the tricks memory can play’ - Sunday Times

'An impressive first novel, intelligent and well written’ - The Times

This twisty, brilliantly written tale of a grisly unsolved murder at Princeton asks if we can truly trust our own memories. This nuanced, multi-layered book has a cracking plot to boot and will be devoured by thriller fans - Sun

‘slippery murder mystery’ - Irish Independent

'Intricately plotted … Faulty memories, outright lies, and secrets make it hard to know whom to believe. The action builds to a crafty and believable resolution.' Publisher's Weekly

‘I read The Book of Mirrors in a single sitting. It’s a brilliant novel that is utterly compelling’ Jo’s Book Blog

‘Beautifully written, with a very clever structure' Fully Booked

‘This is as much a whydunit as a whodunit and the reader is drawn deeper into a web of ruthless ambition, manipulation and revenge.' The Bookbag

Critics Review

  • THE ONE BOOK YOU WON’T FORGET IN 2017

    A gripping psychological thriller full of hidden fragments and dark reflections.

    How would you piece together a murder?

    Do you trust other people’s memories?
    Do you trust your own?
    Should you?

    from the publisher's description

  • Intelligent and sophisticated – a crime story told the way Picasso painted pictures. Highly recommended.

    Lee Child

  • Magical in its storytelling, the novel lingers in the memory long after an immensely satisfying denouement

    Daily Mail

  • entirely compelling

    Guardian

  • I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone’s recall perfect? This isn’t just a very clever thriller – it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.
