This is a<b> fast paced and unpredictable thriller that builds to a tough and bloody climax.</b>

Canberra Weekly

<i>Red Queen</i> is <b>one of the most extravagantly entertaining novels I’ve ever read</b>. Sprinting from spectacular surprise to even-more-spectacular surprise; whirling from one crisply textured character to the next . . . <b>it's an electrifying serial-killer thriller, a fiendishly clever puzzle mystery</b>, and a sensitive portrait of a fascinating young woman. <b><i>Red Queen</i> tops even <i>The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo</i></b> <b>as a thinking reader’s thriller, </b>and Antonia Scott is like a more sympathetic Lisbeth Salander. <b>I loved every word</b>

- A. J. Finn, bestselling author of <i>The Woman in the Window</i>,

<b>Often compared with Lisbeth Salander </b>from <i>The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo</i>, Antonia Scott looks <b>destined to leave every bit as lasting an impression</b>

Daily Mail

<b>Fizzes with energy and lively scene-setting </b>. . . There are<b> obvious echoes of Lisbeth Salander, but the crackling interplay</b> between Scott and Inspector Gutiérrez, a gay Basque policeman, <b>adds an extra layer of originality</b>, as does Nick Caistor’s <b>sparkling</b> translation

Financial Times

<i>Black Wolf</i>, like its predecessor, is <b>a fresh breath of air</b>. It is clever and witty without trying too hard. Its wry, self-deprecating tone, combined with a seemingly effortless, no-nonsense writing style, sets it apart from others in the genre.

Crime Fiction Lover

A labyrinth of a mystery, crisply plotted and paced, <b>way ahead of the pack</b>

- Steve Berry, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Kaiser's Web </i>,

<b>Fast-paced, memorable characters and a cinematic story that draws you in hook, line and sinker.</b> I can’t wait to get my hands on the next in the series

- John Marrs, author of <i>The One</i>,

What Gómez-Jurado excels at, as conveyed in Nick Caistor’s brisk translation, is <b>pacing of the breakneck variety. Short chapters, funny asides, lethally potent descriptions</b>: they all contribute to a frenetic page-turning momentum . . .<b> you’ll have great fun reading it</b>

The New York Times

<b>Suspenseful and terrifying . . . A bit of Clarice Starling and a lot of Lisbeth Salander make Antonia a thoroughly compelling character, </b>who will return in two more translations to complete Gómez-Jurado’s trilogy

- Jane Murphy, <i>Booklist </i>starred review,

<b>Exciting . . . a nice balance among character, action, and setting . . . </b>The next two, <i>Loba Negra </i>(<i>Black Wolf</i>) and <i>Rey Blanco </i>(<i>White King</i>), <i>must </i>be translated into English, because thriller fans will be waiting. Fast-moving and quirky fiction from Madrid

Kirkus Reviews

This has<b> all the velocity and thrills of Stieg Larson’s Millennium series</b> but none of the eyeroll-inducing misogyny . . . it's all-engrossing

- <i>First Clue</i> (starred review),

<b>Fresh and appealing</b> to those that enjoy interesting characters and stories that constantly move forward and tales that end in unexpected ways.

Mystery and Suspense

Readers are going to fall for Antonia Scott. This character is, <b>without a doubt, the best thing that has happened to the international thriller in the last ten years</b>

ABC
