A smorgasbord of flawed characters, an unrelenting pace and a perfect balance of gore and wit. RAGDOLL is a corker of a debut and Cole is sure to be a brilliant and accomplished new voice for crime readers to devour.
RAGDOLL kept me enthralled from its startling opening to its tense finale. Superb thriller writing.
I loved RAGDOLL. A rip-roaring, inventive and riveting read.
This ultra-high concept thriller opens with the discovery in London of a body made up of parts of six victims stitched together to form one corpse
A star is born. Killer plot. Killer pace. Twisted killer and a killer twist. Kill to get a copy.
A brilliant, breathless thriller. If you liked Se7en, you'll love this!
Give an arm or a leg to get hold of a copy... An exciting thriller.
A gruesome delight! Daniel Cole's thriller RAGDOLL, in which gritty detective William "Wolf" Fawkes comes upon a single corpse stitched together out of six bodies, had me flipping pages furiously. It's an impressive debut, dark, propulsive, and surprisingly funny.
Gruesome, twisty and wildly addictive...I couldn't put RAGDOLL down.
A first class, dark thriller.
Terrifyingly brilliant. I dare you to turn the lights out after reading!
the most exciting debut we've read in a long time
RAGDOLL is a fiendishly inventive serial killer mystery wrapped around a compelling new protagonist. I can't wait to see what Daniel Cole does next.
Daniel Cole's RAGDOLL is a bold first step in what is liable to be a spectacular career. Disturbing, taut and compelling, this book took me down the rabbit hole as only the best of thrillers can. Bravo, Mr. Cole.
Praise for RAGDOLL by Daniel Cole, the quality, rocket-paced thriller for readers of Jo Nesbo:
RAGDOLL is utterly addictive with brilliant characters and a killer twist you will never see coming - the best debut I've ever read.
Six corpses in one - and that's just the beginning! Don't expect any let-up in this chilling ride-along with a serial killer more devious and warped than you could ever imagine.
highly anticipated debut that is surely bidding to be the year's most gruesome thriller.
RAGDOLL is such a good read - with kick-ass characters and a cleverly executed, action packed plot, it's like a police procedural Die Hard.
