One of the most daring and intriguing writers working today. Her writing is so addictive, her characters so sharply realized. One of the Good Guys is a resonant, razor-laced and dangerously glittering novel, Scorching, smart and soaked in feminist rage, this is a suspense that stays with you long after the last page, It got me by the throat and wouldn’t let go. It’s creepy, thought-provoking, compelling and so very relevant, A scintillating thriller and a scorching condemnation of how differently society treats men versus women, A mind-bending tour de force. Araminta Hall has always been one of my favorite writers, but what she has done here is groundbreaking. This thriller is shocking, twisted, dark, and absolutely on-point
