Garry Disher Viper FH|FFS Paperback 2024
Only a writer at the top of his game like Garry Disher could control such a colourful cast and complex plot while maintaining an atmosphere of paranoid suspense. Grace, “split between who she wanted to be and who she inescapably was”, is a fascinating protagonist… Sanctuary is a superlative chase thriller
The Times
Disher keeps the various narrative plates spinning with the dexterity of a master storyteller for an engrossing tale of characters who range from morally ambiguous to wholly indefensible
Guardian
Grace is an appealing character with a background hard enough to engender sympathy. Through her, Disher depicts a world of unutterable sadness, lightened only by rare moments of human interaction and glimmers of hope
Literary Review
Garry's work has been compared to Jane Harper and it's not far off – he can develop just as tense a taut a tale
Belfast Telegraph
Another cracker from one of Australia's best writers
Crime Fiction Lover
Australia is a montage of tricky individuals, violence, flight and pursuit in this well-written novel
Critic
Disher cleverly weaves tension throughout the story and builds suspense… Readers who enjoy Hayley Scrivenor, Shelley Burr and Jane Harper should enjoy the thrilling Sanctuary
Books+Publishing
A rollercoaster of a read
