Lies of Silence Reviews

An armchair time bomb * Mail on Sunday *
This is a novel to mirror the disintegration of our times, the unstated irony of which is that a politics so provincial can breed a writer and an art so universal * Observer *
A gripping read which you will find impossible to put down * Literary Review *
Very much the thinking person's thriller - utterly tense and riveting, but also posing an acute moral dilemma for an ordinary person caught up in the troubled politics of Northern Ireland * Daily Express *
It insists on being read at a sitting, for it is imperative to know what happens next * Financial Times *
