THRILLER OF THE YEAR in GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH AND DAILY EXPRESS

Totally addictive. Like Fight Club, only darkerS.J. Watson

I loved this book. Dark and at times almost comical, a great blend of crime thriller and the darkest imaginable domestic noirSarah Pinborough

Dark, deviant and disturbing domestic noir … one of the most entrancing, sophisticated and page-turning psychological thrillers of the year…

One crossed wire, three dead bodies and six bottles of bleach…

Seth Beauman cant sleep. He stays up late, calling strangers from his phonebook, hoping to make a connection, while his wife, Maeve, sleeps upstairs. A crossed wire finds a suicidal Hadley Serf on the phone to Seth, thinking she is talking to The Samaritans.

But a seemingly harmless, late-night hobby turns into something more for Seth and for Hadley, and soon their late-night talks are turning into day-time meet-ups. And then this dysfunctional love story turns into something altogether darker, when Seth brings Hadley home…

And someone is watching…

Dark, sexy, dangerous and wildly readable, Good Samaritans marks the scorching return of one of crime fictions most exceptional voices.

So dark, so coolLisa Howells, Heat Magazine

Will Carvers invigoratingly nasty novel … is a bleak vision of life: not the whole truth of it, thank god, but true enough to impart to the reader the thrill of genuine discomfort, presented with the chilly conviction of Simenons most unflinching romans dues and just as horribly addictiveJake Kerridge, The Telegraph

Carver weaves these strands together for an unsettling but compelling mixture of the banal, the horrific and, at times, the near-comic, wrong-footing the reader at every turnLaura Wilson, Guardian

In this frantic read in sheer overdrive, Carver appeals to the worst voyeur in all of us and delivers the goods with a punch and a fiendish sense of pace and dark humour … my type of noirMaxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
