Excerpt |
“[A] thoughtful puzzle mystery … Mishani has constructed the plot as a psychological thriller, a conventional format in any language, but the story has a lot more to say for itself. To be sure, there are scenes of genuine terror … But there are also surprising plot twists and smart character insights, not to mention some terrific Tel Aviv street scenes.” —New York Times Book Review
“Three is a mesmerizing psychological thriller whose violence comes to feel inevitable, but that also sparks hope for retribution.” —Foreword Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“Mishani displays a superior gift for psychological suspense in this taut and twisty standalone.” —Publishers Weekly
“Truly thought-provoking and emotionally challenging … A masterclass.” —Crime Time
“Mishani writes with profound originality.” —Henning Mankell, author of the Inspector Kurt Wallander series
“Three is an outstanding thriller. From the first page, Mishani’s addictive prose begins its work, drawing you into a devious plot where life, fate, and murder intertwine. A steady hand, immersive writing, and masterful storytelling. This is suspense at its best.” —Olivia Kiernan, author of Too Close to Breathe
“Superb, the way darkness snakes its way into these apparently humdrum lives. A book with killer twists that are impossible to see coming, but utterly convincing. The pay-off for the reader is fantastic.” —Willam Shaw, author of Deadland
“I was nailed to this story. In serene, almost transparent prose Mishani leads us into a devilish underworld of other minds, where real and imaginary collide and answers cannot be guessed but we desperately want them, right to the end. Riveting and masterly.” —Polly Clark, author of Larchfield
