A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Harrowing.” (New York Times Book Review)

“A highly suspenseful and cleverly-crafted psychological thriller....Haynes masterfully teases out the disturbing details, which involve a Jekyll and Hyde boyfriend. If you’re a fan of cinematic showdowns you won’t be disappointed, but it’s also the quietly powerful moments in Haynes’s narrative that resonate.” (Erin Kodicek, Amazon.com)

“In this violent, gripping suspense novel, a woman with obsessive compulsive disorder lives in fear of her unstable, stalker ex-boyfriend.” (Wall Street Journal)

“A sexy psychological thriller.... Anyone looking for a suspenseful read this summer at the beach, pick up Into the Darkest Corner.” (John Searles, Weekend Today Show)

“Gripping psychological thriller. . . . Haynes puts the reader into Bailey’s mind and the result is a grim, dark and extremely difficult story. The feelings of isolation and helplessness ooze off the page. . . A compelling first novel.” (Associated Press)
