Crime & Thriller Book of the Year (Specsavers National Book Awards) Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018 'The best crime novel I've read in a very long time.' VAL MCDERMID SNAP DECISIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS . . . On a stifling summer's day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jack's in charge, she'd said. I won't be long. But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever. Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother . . . _________________________ What readers are saying ***** 'This book has confirmed Belinda Bauer's place on my 'must read' author list.'***** 'A excellent crime thriller that is difficult to put down from start to finish.'***** 'I finished it in two sittings and became an immediate Belinda Bauer fan.'***** 'A story that balances humour and tragedy with such deftness that crying and laughing often occurred simultaneously.'***** 'The characters are so well-drawn and quirky that you remember them long after the denouement and you hold your breath until the very last page.' Praise for Belinda Bauer 'Original, pacy and thoroughly entertaining . . . a cracking read.' CLARE MACKINTOSH, bestselling author of I Let You Go 'No one writes crime novels like Belinda Bauer, with a rare blend of darkness, humour and heart. She's a crime writing genius.' C. L. TAYLOR, bestselling author of The Missing 'Belinda Bauer's plots are never anything less than original and unsettling, and Snap is no exception.' Sunday Times 'Spine-chilling, tension-packed gripper.' Woman and Home 'The opening of Snap is one of the most vividly unnerving I have read . . . razor-sharp observation.' Guardian Belinda's sensational new crime novel EXIT is available to preorder now. Less
