Review
“An incredible study of psychological torture and how fine the membrane is between normality and the underlying darkness.”
- Tana French
“Strangers on a Train is a moral-vertigo thriller: Crime and Punishment for a post-atomic age.”
- Tom Nolan, The Los Angeles Times
“Strangers on a Train is filled with paranoia and anxiety, and through its twists and turns, we, like poor Guy Haines, are also drawn into psychopath Bruno's web.”
- Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes
