**NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES** We Need to Talk About Kevin meets
The Secret History. The air is hazy and grey with gunpowder smoke.
Everyone has been shot but me. I haven't got so much as a
bruise.... Is Maja a normal eighteen-year-old, the poster
girl-next-door, popular and excelling at her schoolwork, caught in
the middle of a terrible tragedy? Or is she guilty of the tragedy
itself? Either way, everyone knows her name. She has spent nine
excruciating months in jail, awaiting trial for a mass murder that
killed her boyfriend and her best friend, and now the time has come
for her to enter the courtroom... WHAT WILL YOU BELIEVE? This is
the 'compelling and brutally candid' (Daily Mail) story of a girl
whose guilt was decided long before her trial - as searing as it is
timely and moving. ***What people are saying about QUICKSAND***
Sensitive, moving and absorbing' Marcel Berlins, The Times 'This is
the evolution of Scandinavian crime, in more ways than one' Fredrik
Backman 'Compelling and brutally candid, especially about modern
adolescence, this is not a comfortable book, but the story is so
superbly told that it lingers in the mind long after the jury's
verdict' Daily Mail 'A suspenseful and addictive experience...
[Giolito] expertly delves into the fickle psyche of the media and
how they can change a story's narrative with one headline and she
shames the press's tendency to report wild conjecture over facts...
Though Giolito's perspective is Swedish, it absolutely translates
to a greater global crisis' Real Crime 'Giolito gives us the
unsettling monologue of a teenage girl as she works her way through
her role in murder. It is a splendid work of fiction' Kirkus
Reviews 'Gioloto's novel is haunting and immersive' Publishers
Weekly 'Mystery and intrigue in its purest form. Great book,
recommended to all' Marg J., bookseller 'A fascinating, often
uncomfortable, but thoroughly engrossing read' Sarah B. 'Sweden's
latest blockbuster thriller lives up to the hype' Washington Post
'Maja [is] a heroine you will not forget, victim of a toxic love
story with a background so familiar to us nowadays... a super
thriller - a real page-turner' Mariagrazia M. 'I have never read a
book by a Swedish author so when Quicksand became available I
decided that it was the perfect opportunity to try. I certainly
wasn't disappointed' Diane Hogg, NetGalley Reviewer 5*
