Unpredictable, wildly original and with an ending that made me gasp, this is thriller writing at its very best - Nuala Ellwood
Simon Lelic is on my radar from this point forward. The Search Party is taut, beautifully written, and scary as hell, with more twists than a mountain road - Christina Dalcher
I loved this book, from one of my favourite authors. You'll definitely want to read this absorbing, creepy, and totally unputdownable novel - Luca Veste
