Praise for The Book of Mirrors:
'Intelligent and sophisticated - a crime story told the way Picasso painted pictures. Highly recommended.' - Lee Child
'I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone's recall perfect? This isn't just a very clever thriller---it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.' - Julia Heaberlin, bestselling author of [*Black Eyed Susans*](/book/black-eyed-susans/julia-heaberlin/9781405921275)
'A literary thriller - complex, gripping and a beautiful read.' Jenni Murray
'This Romanian author's debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration of the tricks memory can play' - *Sunday Times*
'An impressive first novel, intelligent and well written' - *The Times*
