A Tel-Aviv-set psychological thriller . . . with surprise after surprise stored up its clever sleeve, Dror Mishani's stand-alone serial killer tale . . . with a difference evokes both Patricia Highsmith and the quiet desperation of some of Simenon's non-Maigret novels * Crime Time * an utterly convincing and utterly compelling exercise in Highsmithian horror * The Times * The characters and mood of this intriguing page-turner remain with the reader long after the last page. * The Lady * Dror Mishani is the undisputable spiritual heir to George Simenon * Le Monde * A masterpiece that - on quiet paws - evokes more insight than some of the many editorials * WDR Radio, BOOK OF THE WEEK * I was nailed to this story. In serene, almost transparent prose Mishani leads us into a devilish underworld of other minds, where real and imaginary collide and answers cannot be guessed but we desperately want them, right to the end. Riveting and masterly -- Polly Clark, author of * Larchfield * In three parts, there are very effectful plot twists just when you expect them least.Psychologically sophisticated suspense and three touching and subtle portraits of women -- Dagmar Kaindl * BuchKultur * Superb, the way darkness snakes its way into these apparently humdrum lives. A book with killer twists that are impossible to see coming, but utterly convincing.The pay-off for the reader is fantastic -- Willam Shaw, author of * Deadland * Three is an outstanding thriller. From the first page, Mishani's addictive prose begins its work, drawing you into a devious plot where life, fate and murder intertwine. A steady hand, immersive writing and masterful storytelling. This is suspense at its best -- Olivia Kiernan, author of * Too Close to Breathe * A psychological drama that goes far beyond the standard thriller plot * Wprost, Poland * Dror Mishani is one of the greatest new writers in the genre * Politiken, Denmark * Dror Mishani marvellously handles the art of suspense * Les Echos, France * Dror Mishani has reached the world league of crime fiction * Die Zeit, Germany * Dror Mishani writes with profound originality * Henning Mankell * The architecture of Mishani's new book is meticulously crafted, the tension builds up step by step as a result of the fatal choices the protagonists make. With huge talent Mishani shows the normality of everyday life in Israel as a fertile ground for pure evil . . . A sophisticated literary machine, Three is a work written like a Shakespearean play . . . I believe it'll be remembered as a work that heralded a new-wave in Israeli fiction just as My Michael by Amos Oz did a few decades ago * Haaretz, Israel *
