’As ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic... Refreshingly, Connolly has always resisted repeating himself, and the plot trajectory is strikingly innovative. The Reapers affords unusually bracing doses of Stygian delights.’--Barry Forshaw, Independent

’The Reapers is an excellent addition to Connolly’s already high calibre collection of work to feature this team who seem, on the surface at least, so different from one another and yet manage to gel so well. I challenge anyone to be able to put this book down. I am sure you will be as gripped by the fast moving story as I was, and I have no doubt this is one of the best crime novels you are likely to read this year!’--Chris Simmons, Crimesguad.com
