Rachel’s Random Reads

A promising debut novel for Alex Caan, and he presents the readers with a switchback plot and a cast of dodgy and really rather unpleasant new media types, all of who deny having it in for Ruby. It's a dark tale that takes some very unexpected directions and where people are never quite as they seem

Crime Review

<i>Cut to the Bone</i> by Alex Caan is a brilliant, fast paced nail biter of a story, tapping into the murky world of a growing on-line presence... This is definitely one of my top reads for the year and I can't wait to see what Alex Caan delivers next. I don't know that there are enough stars in a 5 star Amazon/GoodReads rating system to do my feelings about this book justice

Jen Med Book Reviews

This is a well written, very clever crime drama and I enjoyed it hugely. A five out of five star read

In My Own Little World

Every once in a while there's a book that captures the attention of the majority of reviewers, social medial seems to be awash with comments about a book and the more people hint about it, the most intrigued you get. That was definitely the case with Cut to the Bone...Cut to the Bone is an addictive and compelling read, for a debut it really is impressive. I can't wait to see where Alex Caan takes these characters next!

The Quiet Knitter

<i>Cut To The Bone</i> has all the ingredients for a gripping read - a missing YouTube vlogger, a million suspects, and a pair of detectives with secrets to hide

The City Story

Short, snappy chapters kept me reading late into the night, as the plot (at times worthy of Bond) twisted and turned. In short, <i>Cut To The Bone</i> is an impressive debut thriller and I hope there is more to come with DCI Riley and DS Harris

Joy Kluver book blog

A fantastic debut full of a great mixture of characters with a plot that was as interesting as it was unusual

Cleopatra Loves Books

I really enjoyed this novel...The characters were perfect, most of which I did not care for but I feel that this was what the author Alex Caan was aiming for. I found DCI Kate Riley and DS Zain Harris quite a fascinating pairing, both with their own complicated lives both present and past. I hope that Alex Caan is going to continue with this pair in future novels

From Dusk till Dawn

An author in keeping up with modern times, creating a dark crime thriller about the vlogging community. <i>Cut to the Bone</i> is a dark and intriguing read

Off the Shelf Book Reviews

With its vlogging community undercurrent, <i><b>Cut to the Bone</b></i> will greatly appeal to a contemporary audience

Little Bookness Lane

This is a great debut thriller, and I really hope this isn't the last we will be seeing of Detectives Zain and Kate

Rachel's Random Reads

Alex Caan in my opinion brings the theme of murder mystery into the 21st century in an absolute amazing way! And, I would recommend it to absolutely anyone that enjoys say the BBC TV series "The Fall" because this gripped me as much as that did. So, 10/10 book for me! Please please go read it, you will not regret it!

DreamBigBloggerxoxo

With its vlogging community undercurrent, <b><i>Cut to the Bone</i></b> will greatly appeal to a contemporary audience. There are heaps of devious Red Herrings and characters to get the wrong end of the stick about. For me, the underlying psychology as to how some people react to being in the public eye by either respecting the audience they attract or taking full advantage of them was both enlightening and disturbing

Little Bookness Lane

I was enthralled, I could not put this book down...an excellent read

Debbie Krenzer

It was no surprise to me, when Alex Caan was nominated as a rising star by Amazon. <i>Cut to the Bone</i> became a firm favourite with me, the instant I read it. I love it when an author brings a very up postmodern sub-culture to the forefront. Don't miss out on this dark highly contemporary tale

Northern Crime Review Book Blog

Full of tension, and up to date...You'll chew your nails, and take turns to turn the pages

Frost Magazine

A dark and atmospheric police procedural with a modern twist. It's a fast-paced read and a classic page-turner. Just one more page, just one more chapter, where will the fickle finger of suspicion alight next?

Alex Caan's <i>Cut To The Bone</i>, was <b>my book of the summer </b>for Sainsbury's Entertainment . . . <b>an impressive thriller exploring the seedier side of vlogging and fame</b>
