Terrific. Impeccable plotting
Barry Forshaw
A truly compelling tale of the fragility of memory and elusive redemption
Kirkus Reviews
Black-Eyed Susans is a masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed . . . and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling... is outstanding. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early ... Read morenovels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn's Gone Girl and now Heaberlin's Black-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it
Washington Post
Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings
Woman and Home

Utterly compelling . . . the writing is mesmeric
Ali Land
Sunday Times bestselling author of Good Me Bad Me
This book haunted me. Such a gripping exploration of obsession and loss: of those we love, but also our memories and sense of self. The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!

The timing is perfect, the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting

A rich hybrid work that's at once a zany dialogue-propelled town-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography

The Sun
Heaberlin knows exactly how to create a feeling of suspense. The kind of fear that that creeps up on you from behind. It is a compelling and sinister, character-driven read.

Strong characterisation, haunting images, a wonderful sense of place
Guardian
A dialogue propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaption would entail sacrificing Heaberlin's evocative prose

Sarah Pinborough Gripping . . . dementia suits crime fiction. Is the suspect lying or has a medical reason for his amnesia?

Wonderful . . . creepy . . . it elevates the often tawdry genre of the serial killer novel to a work of art
Sunday Express
A tale of murderous obsession . . . Heaberlin, author of the impressive Black-Eyed Susans, plays her cards close to her chest, careful to give away little about the motivations of either of her characters, as her heroine edges closer to the truth'

Every journey reaches its end, and the one in Paper Ghosts comes on fast and furious. Signposts along the way warn of angst, secrets and deadly plot twists, but you'll never see what's coming . . .
