Silver Bewertungen

Shimmers ... A tortured tale of blood and loss -- Val McDermid on 'Scrublands'
Stunning ... Scrublands is that rare combination, a page-turner that stays long in the memory -- Sunday Times on 'Scrublands'
Compelling, original and brilliantly executed - an excellent thriller from a new master of Australian noir * Charles Cumming, author of A Foreign Country *
Silver is the perfect sequel to Scrublands - dark, twisty and atmospheric, with writing so real you can almost feel the blistering heat of the Australian summer. I savoured every page, I didn't want it to end * Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me *
Hammer combines Scarsden's backstory with a vivid portrait of a divided community to mesmerising effect. * Sunday Times *
Richly descriptive, with a large and well-drawn cast, this is an immersive and enjoyable novel that lives up to the promise of its predecessor. -- Books of the Month * Guardian *
A great new edition to the world of crime-writing. -- Natasha Cooper * Literary Review *
A terrific story ... This is an excellent sequel; the best Australian crime novel since Peter Temple's The Broken Shore * The Times *
Sweeping and ambitious ... It bears comparison with Jane Harper's The Dry and there can be no higher praise * Daily Mail *
Another compulsive thriller * Culturefly *
A meaty crime mystery with plenty of originality and excitement * Newbooks Magazine *
Hammer is a great writer - a leader in Australian noir * Michael Connelly *
I think this is better than the first * Ann Cleeves *
With their small-town Australian setting, brilliantly complex plots involving corruption, cruelty and climate change, Chris Hammer's detective novels are as compellingly written and characterised as they are, sadly, topical. Alongside Jane Harper, he is in the vanguard of Australian noir. * Amanda Craig *
The perfect sequel to the extraordinary Scrublands. Tense, heart-squeezing and absolutely addictive: Silver is one to read again and again * Gytha Lodge *
A terrific murder mystery set in New South Wales. A tale of drugs, property speculation, small-town ambitions, money, and a strange religious guru. * The Times, Best Books of 2020 *
