Reviews for Blood Symmetry: Alice Quentin 5
Alice is a vividly realised protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline
Sophie Hannah
Daily Express
A pacy psychological thriller that makes good use of its London setting
Laura Wilson
Guardian
Like Nicci French, Kate Rhodes excels at character, pace and sense of place
Erin Kelly, author of The ... Read more A terrific new heroine on the block
Woman & Home
Alice is a wonderfully rounded female protagonist who is vividly written, emotionally accessible and strong. Peppered with false trails, the reader is guessing the killer's identity right up to the last minute. This is a bone chilling read that will grip you from beginning to end
Express
An enjoyably scary chiller
Sunday Mirror
Praise for Kate Rhodes
.
The pace never lets up in Kate Rhodes' latest thriller - and neither does the blood! A fast and at times gruesome read made doubly compelling for having its basis in fact.
Tamar Cohen A pacy, finely crafted plot, and the central idea of tainted blood is fantastically well threaded into the story. More than anything, it is written with heart
Alison Joseph An original and exciting story made all the more disturbing by the fact that the underlying premise is based on real events. An excellent read.
Rachel Abbott Rhodes goes from strength to strength with this acute reminder of how bureaucratic neglect produced mass tragedy. A fast-paced, riveting read.
Alex Marwood Excellent...based on a true, fascinating and shocking story
