Critic reviews

"This accomplished, intelligent debut should come with a warning - it's completely addictive. A nail-biting, sleep-depriving, brilliant read." (Saskia Sarginson, author of The Twins)
"Every parent's nightmare, handled with intelligence and sensitivity, the novel is also deceptively clever. I found myself racing through to find out what happened." (Rosamund Lupton, author of Sister and Afterwards)
"Tightly focussed and fast-paced. You won't rest until you really know what happened." (Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Guilty One)
"Deft, tense and utterly gripping, Burnt Paper Sky stays with you long after the final page has been turned." (Tim Weaver)
"What an exciting debut! Burnt Paper Sky kept me up until the small hours, from the nightmarish moment when a mother first realises that her son has disappeared, to the dramatic denouement. Gilly Macmillan's voice is innovative and confident, and she creates a cast of very human characters. There's a page-turning urgency, combined with an insightful exploration of the emotional fall-out after the abduction of a small child. Meanwhile the media and internet community are shadowy figures whose pitiless speculation and harassment seem all too believable. Burnt Paper Sky is written with passion and insight. Bravo, Gilly Macmillan." (Charity Norman, author of After the Fall)
"What an amazing, gripping, beautifully written debut. Burnt Paper Sky kept me up late into the night (and scared the life out of me)." (Liane Moriarty, author of The Husband's Secret)

Profile Image for Lyndel

Brilliant

No Spoilers.

Starts a little slowly but delivers mysteries with a surprising punch, from one suspect to the next I was captivated. After hundreds of mysteries and thrillers I have found it easy to pick the culprit/s not this time This is the first book I've read by this author, Congratulations. ... I really enjoyed it.
Worth noting is thel incite into characters and their impressive growth through the events unfolding.
I'm off to buy the next.....I have confidence it will be a cracker just like this was.
Now hurry and buy this excellent listen immediately.

(I usually only review when a book is excellent and must be praised, or is dreadful, and feel others will appreciate the warning not to spend their hard earned money on a waste if time.)
