Conclave Reviews

"Harris' superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner." * Sunday Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous that I could not bear to put it down." -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"`I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I am waiting still. His latest, Conclave, is superb." -- Ben Macintyre * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages." -- Libby Purves * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss." -- Richard Susskind * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"Robert Harris is incapable of writing a substandard novel." -- Alan Johnson * Observer, BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"Each Robert Harris thriller is different but of exemplary consistency." -- Ian Rankin * Mirror BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"Robert Harris is the master storyteller of our time . . . Beautifully constructed . . . it's dramatically compelling, politically intelligent, beautifully paced and with a lovely twist in the tail . . . narrative doesn't come better than this." * Scotsman BOOKS OF THE YEAR *
"I am about to use a word I have never knowingly used in any review of any book ever. During my 25-odd years of writing about books I have done my best to avoid cliches, slipshod summaries, oracular pronouncements and indeed anything else that might appear emblazoned on a book jacket. Nonetheless, there is only one possible word to describe Robert Harris's new novel, and it is this: unputdownable" -- Ian Sansom * Guardian *
"A master of producing thrillers of ever-tightening suspense, full of insider analysis of political power and the treatment of momentous events . . . gripping . . . more than a crime novel, it is also a psychological and political thriller . . . Conclave is a triumphant addition to Harris' acclaimed output" -- David Grylls * Sunday Times *
"Gripping . . . like an ecclesiastical version of House of Cards" * The Times *
"Well-researched, intelligently observed and highly credible . . . Fast-moving and suspenseful, it's elegantly written entertainment from a first-rate storyteller." * Mail on Sunday *
"Grips like a vice and manages to convey all the drama of an election without resorting to melodrama" -- Jake Kerridge * Sunday Express *
"An electric read, like a shot of adrenalin to the heart . . . rollicking and literate . . . an insightful and witty thriller" -- Tim Stanley * Literary Review *
"Page-turning heaven" -- Alice Jones * Independent *
