Acclaim for David Hosp

‘This [Next of Kin] is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time, reminiscent of John Grisham, but, I think, better and with a stronger, more sympathetic cast of characters . . . A truly absorbing page-turner’

Richard & Judy Book Club review

‘The detail and subplots make Hosp such a gripping writer . . . he is growing and developing with each new book’

Daily Express

‘This is a knock out; Grisham with passion, even a touch of the great Michael Connelly thrown in . . . It crackles from the first page to the last and never lets up for a second’

Daily Mail

‘Hosp is a born storyteller, a master of quirky character and detail who enthrals through the simple, but elusive, expedient of never seeming to write a dull sentence’

Daily Telegraph

‘David Hosp’s genius is reinvention. He recycles every genre cliché going – oddball sidekicks, philosophical hit men, drunken cops, perverted politicians – and renders them more enthralling than ever’
