"A tense tale ... This action-packed page-turner will earn Kernick new followers." - Publishers Weekly

"Kernick spins a nonstop mystery thriller, leavening the grimy noir with a renegade hero every bit as likable as Spenser and as tough as Hawk. A good book for a breakthrough and a sure bet for fans of gritty Brits and hard-boiled thrills." - Booklist

"A knuckle-clenching ride." - The Guardian

"A deliciously complex suspenser ... second to none." - January Magazine

"Simon Kernick may be a new kid on the block but he certainly knows how to crank up the suspense and deliver a kick in the gut when it's needed. A Good Day To Die is a terrific novel. Put this one at the top of your list; it will keep you up well into the night." - Peter Robinson, author of the Inspector Banks series

"A Good Day To Die is everything we have come to expect from Kernick - one of the best young crime writers to have emerged in the past five years.

"Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!" - Harlan Coben, author of Fool Me Once
