THRILLER OF THE YEAR in GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH AND DAILY EXPRESS
'Totally addictive. Like Fight Club, only darker' S.J. Watson 'I
loved this book. Dark and at times almost comical, a great blend of
crime thriller and the darkest imaginable domestic noir' Sarah
Pinborough Dark, deviant and disturbing domestic noir ... one of
the most entrancing, sophisticated and page-turning psychological
thrillers of the year... _________________ One crossed wire, three
dead bodies and six bottles of bleach... Seth Beauman can't sleep.
He stays up late, calling strangers from his phonebook, hoping to
make a connection, while his wife, Maeve, sleeps upstairs. A
crossed wire finds a suicidal Hadley Serf on the phone to Seth,
thinking she is talking to The Samaritans. But a seemingly
harmless, late-night hobby turns into something more for Seth and
for Hadley, and soon their late-night talks are turning into
day-time meet-ups. And then this dysfunctional love story turns
into something altogether darker, when Seth brings Hadley home...
And someone is watching... Dark, sexy, dangerous and wildly
readable, Good Samaritans marks the scorching return of one of
crime fiction's most exceptional voices. _________________ 'So
dark, so cool' Lisa Howells, Heat Magazine 'Will Carver's
invigoratingly nasty novel ... is a bleak vision of life: not the
whole truth of it, thank god, but true enough to impart to the
reader the thrill of genuine discomfort, presented with the chilly
conviction of Simenon's most unflinching romans dues and just as
horribly addictive' Jake Kerridge, The Telegraph 'Carver weaves
these strands together for an unsettling but compelling mixture of
the banal, the horrific and, at times, the near-comic,
wrong-footing the reader at every turn' Laura Wilson, Guardian
'Must Read!' Daily Express 'Beautiful, gripping and disturbing in
equal measure, a postcard from the razor's edge of the connected
world we live in' Kevin Wignall 'Possibly the most interesting and
original writer in the crime-fiction genre, and I've loved his
books for years. Good Samaritans is his best to date - dark, slick,
gripping, and impossible to put down. You'll be sucked in from the
first page' Luca Veste 'Oh My God, Good Samaritans is amazing. I'm
a little in love with your writing Will Carver' Helen FitzGerald,
