Reviews for The Intruder: The most unsettling sociopath you’ll meet this year

You'll definitely want to change your locks after reading this original and darkly funny novel that will send shivers down your spine. * Stylist * The first-person portrayal of a truly cold-blooded protagonist is a hard thing to pull off, especially one whose outward appearance is so benign but Phil Hogan has created an antihero horrifically ruthless and disquieting. * Guardian * One to watch: an eerie page-turner. -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * The Bookseller * Brims with wry wit and taut tension [and] delivers one surprise after another. * The New York Times * A wonderfully sinister fable of property and obsession. * Observer * Very clever. A creepily alluring voice. * Julia Crouch * I loved it - gripping, sinister, original and brilliant! * Sophie Hannah, author of 'Did You See Melody?' * A brilliant read, almost unbearably tense at times. * Daily Mail * There is a delicious feeling of complicity in his misdemeanours: Heming gets in side your head as easily as he gets into his neighbours' houses... a superbly plotted and genuinely creepy novel. it deserves to be a bestseller. * Sunday Express * A wonderfully creepy voice, macabre and blackly comic with a deeply unsettling and original hero. * Rosamund Lupton, author of 'Sister' *
