Guardian
Fast moving ... tightly plotted
Sunday Times
<b>A stylishly executed and well produced study in fear, loathing and victimisation</b> which moves towards doom in measured steps
Observer
Compelling and sinister . . . <b>a very good thriller</b>
Glasgow Herald
A remarkable novel . . . <b>superbly crafted, funny and intelligent</b>
Financial Times
From the brilliant opening . . . that lands the reader smack in the middle of the first of a series of cold-blooded murders to the final confrontation on a weather-beaten wild island . . . <b><i>Complicity</i> is irresistibly compelling</b>
New York Times Book Review
<b>Literate, passionate and well-paced</b>, <i>Complicity </i>succeeds as both an absorbing entertainment and <b>a chilling examination of accountability in a morally bankrupt world</b>
San Francisco Chronicle
<b>An ingeniously constructed tale, done with customary ease, wit and panache</b>. Banks may be a classic story-spinner, purveyor of the proverbial Good Read: but in among all the contrasts, the genre-hopping and the fun, there's a small, serious common purpose to his work
Scotsman
Brutal in the nightmarishness of its gruesome murders and sexual explicitness but never less than a no-holds-barred blitz of a thriller
Daily Mail
An excellent nervy book, both cool and terrifying at its dark centre where the perfect logic of the protagonist is devoid of pity. Banks's muscular style and gruesome imagination make this a fast-moving thriller not to be missed
Daily Telegraph
<b>A cocktail of sex, skulduggery and hi-tech mystery</b>, set most convincingly in a Caledonian newsroom. I shall now read everything Banks has written
