Reviews for Woman of the Dead: A Thriller
Fast, edgy and gripping... full of quirks, with a conflicted heroine as killer at its heart. Do not miss it
Geoffrey Wansell
Daily Mail
an inventive, forceful, engrossing revenge thriller
Marcel Berlins
THE TIMES
Completely enthralling. A beautifully written novel that really gets into the psyche of the female vigilante . . . I certainly hope that we hear more from this promising young Austrian author
THE CRIME WARP
European crime fiction at its best
RAVEN CRIME READS
Fast, edgy and gripping . . . full of quirks, with a conflicted heroine as killer at its heart. Do not miss it.
DAILY MAIL
An inventive, forceful, engrossing revenge thriller
THE TIMES
Aichner is one of the stars of Austrian crime fiction. This strongly written bestseller synthesises elements from Kill Bill and the Lisbeth Salander books to grimly mesmerising effect.
Barry Forshaw
FINANCIAL TIMES
Blum is a great character and when Aichner's ghost-train plot ends in the only place it can - a crematorium - you feel like cheering
THE GUARDIAN
A wonderful thriller about love and retribution - playful, dark and dangerous - I read it in one sitting
William Ryan
There is a wicked and thrilling high concept to the story, lots of action, and a sexy and dangerous female protagonist.
CRIME FICTION LOVER
Woman of the Dead is a horrifying thriller with strong links to Jeff Linday's Dexter . . . Aichner's character is so strongly realised that, like Dexter, the reader wills her on to succeed. Woman of the Dead will surprise as it horrifies.
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
Aichner has a talent for keeping readers hooked - this is a gripping read and the character of Blum lives long in the mind.
TELEGRAPH
An ironclad guarantee of sleepless nights
INDEPENDENT
One of the most arresting thrillers I've read for years. Hypnotic! Aichner plumbs the darkest depths of the human psyche in this compelling tale of a female undertaker. As a mother, Blum is touching and relatable. But as a vengeful wife determined to hunt down her husband's killers... Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
