Jeffery Deaver'Sharp deserves a genre all her own - if you are just discovering Zoë Sharp then you are in for a real treat.' Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine'With SECOND SHOT, Zoë Sharp has become the UK answer to Laura Lippman. This is mystery on the grand scale and yet so simply written that you nearly miss how cleverly it is constructed. Superb.' Ken Bruen, best-selling author of BLITZ and LONDON BOULEVARD"THE BLOOD WHISPERER is a cracking, compulsive read: once you've read the electrifying first few pages, you'll probably develop intense feelings of annoyance towards anyone or anything who takes you away from it and the wonderful, gutsy, spiky heroine. I loved every word of this brilliant, mind-twisting thriller and even yelped out loud at one of the genius twists." Elizabeth HaynesZoë Sharp has been nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, Barry, Benjamin Franklin, and Macavity Awards in the United States, as well as two CWA Dagger Awards in the UK.
