Review
A gripping, original and stylish novel -- Amanda Craig * The Times * Whereas wannabe noir fiction often mistakes bleakness for darkness, McGowan has empathy for his troubled protagonist. If a disturbing read can be fun, if laugh-out-loud can have heart and soul, McGowan's got it nailed -- Keith Gray * Scotsman Magazine * McGowan's high school noir is fresh, fast and seriously good fun * Booktrust * A masterfully clever story with a tongue-in-cheek sense of wit * Sister Spooky * McGowan achieves some gorgeously, glitteringly mad writing. -- Philip Womack * Literary Review * An original, unsettling noir thriller. -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman * A subtle, shifting and surprising story that avoids easy definition and is memorable...weirdly wonderful * Books For Keeps * Hello Darkness is a darkly comic and original mystery novel for young adults filled with Raymond Chandleresque noir dialogue -- Martin Chiltern * Telegraph Top 10 YA books of 2013 * Hello Darkness is a darkly comic and original mystery novel for young adults filled with Raymond Chandleresque noir dialogue -- Martin Chiltern * Telegraph Top 10 YA books of 2013 *
