A serial killer to chill your bones.

A gripping and heart-pounding thriller that gives a glimpse into the mind of a psychopath even more terrifying than Hannibal Lecter. If you like Mo Hayder and Thomas Harris’s Silence of the Lambs, you’ll love Rattle and The Collector.

A SERIAL KILLER TO CHILL YOUR BONES. A FAMILY TO WARM YOUR HEART. A DETECTIVE WHO MUST HUNT HIM DOWN.

He has planned well. He leads two lives. In one, he’s just like anyone else. But in the other he’s the caretaker of his family’s macabre museum.

Now the time has come to add to his collection. He is ready to feed his obsession, and he is on the hunt.

Jakey Frith and Clara Foyle have something in common. They have what he needs.

What begins is a terrifying cat and mouse game between the sinister collector, Jakey’s father and DS Etta Fitzroy, a detective investigating a spate of abductions.

It’s a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition - Val McDermid

Sharp, moving and wholly original. Rattle is a breath of fresh air - Tammy Cohen

A creepy crime debut with shades of The Babadook about it . . . I think it will be huge - Sarah Hilary

Gripping. A total page-turner. A rattling good read - D. E. Meredith

Cleverest and creepiest plot I’ve read in a long time. Left me breathless with fear . . . utterly brilliant - Michelle Davies

Vividly contrasts the apparent normality of suburbia with the awful truths it can conceal . . . A thriller that is capable of keeping you up all night — and then haunting your dreams. Creepy and accomplished, it is not quite as scary as Lecter, but close - Daily Mail

A highly original and creepy tale that rattles along with menace and does not let up until the cracking finale - Daily Express

Serial killers don’t come much scarier than the monstrous creation who haunts this astonishingly assured debut, which transforms London’s leafy suburb of Blackheath into a realm of mythic horror . . . as the tension and urgency escalates, Cummins takes you on a macabre but riveting thrill ride - Sunday Mirror

Original, gripping and beautifully written - I love this book - Alice Feeney

Tearing through Rattle. It’s brilliant! - Tasha Kavanagh

Original, vivid, stunningly written with a plot that shocks and disturbs from the very first page. Leaves you holding your breath . . . a fantastic read - Debbie Howells

A chilling and inventive debut - Simon Beckett

Fast-paced, vivid and confident – you are in the hands of an accomplished storyteller. Not only does it smother with its horror, it startles and uplifts with its humanity - Julia Crouch

So here’s a book to look forward to in 2017 . . . Rattle by talented Fiona Cummins. Chilling, original and beautifully written. Loved it! - Amanda Jennings

Taut, menacing and brilliantly written - Louise Millar

Seriously creepy and very well written. One that’ll have you double-checking your doors are locked at night - Ali Land

Rattle is such an original thriller; a novel that plumbs the depths of evil yet stuns you with its humanity. The writing is never less than sublime - Colette McBeth

Amid the outpouring of crime novels centred on missing children, Rattle is up there with the best of them. Fiona Cummins has created an exceptionally creepy psychopathic killer . . . A gem of a scary debut - Marcel Berlins in The Times
