Two Girls Down

`Not only suspenseful but with some real embedded truths about how hard it is to be a mother.' * Anna Quindlen, author of One True Thing * 'This is such a terrific read. High stakes, relationship-driven, perfectly paced [and] three-dimensional female characters. Alice Vega could give Jack Reacher a run for his money. Maybe Louisa Luna should write all the thrillers.' * Chelsea Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Heartsick * `Vega springs to life in the hands of this immensely talented writer...This is a must-read for fans of strong female protagonists.' * Booklist (starred review) * `Loved Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna. Tense, measured, spare writing, badass but relatable heroes, and a payoff that's worth every word of the wait. Whoever this Lee Child fella is on the cover, he's not wrong.' * Rod Reynolds, author of Black Night Falling * `This was so good, unforgettable characters (Alice Vega is brilliant), couldn't put it down.' * Chris Whitaker, author if Tall Oaks and All The Wicked Girls * `An engrossing mystery bulging with so many memorable characters...the writing is superb and the witty repartee between Vega and Cap, even as they deal with society's lowest, is a delight. The ending is as shocking as it is unexpected. It's a truly gripping read.' * Michael Rowland * `[A] turbulent, razor-sharp book...this is a beautifully taut firecracker of a read.' * Readings * `This tautly written thriller balances suspense with strong characterisations and insightful reflections on motherhood. The story unfolds quickly, and it will hold your attention until the end.' * Canberra Times * `Sensational...One of the book's great pleasures is seeing Caplan and Vega's initially testy entanglement develop into a true partnership. But there are many other aspects in Ms. Luna's story to savour as well...quick psychological revelations that pierce the heart.' * Wall Street Journal * `Opening this book is like arming a bomb-the suspense is relentless and the payoff is spectacular. Lead character Alice Vega is sensational-I want to see lots more of her.' * Lee Child, #1 Bestselling author of The Midnight Line *
