Great review of THE HOLY THIEF in the Irish Times

Great review of THE HOLY THIEF in The Irish Times today. I think it has somethign to do with The Irish Fiction Award nomination. Anyway, a very kind and generous one so I’m not complaining.

"Set in a vividly imagined Stalinist Russia, where the creeping paranoia of a surveillance state blends perfectly with the brutal serial murders"
Metro

"Ryan’s stately style belies the page-turning quality of the novel"
Irish Times

"Ryan writes with narrative drive and urgency, a good sense of place and a central character who is conflicted, moral and above all likeable: whodunnit heaven."
The Times

"Such details make “The Holy Thief” … one of the year’s most exciting mysteries"
Sun Sentinel

"Fans of Phillip Kerr, Tom Rob Smith, and Olen Steinhauer have a treat in store with this strong period thriller from British debut author Ryan . . .A series to watch very closely"
Irish Examiner

"Remarkable thriller . . . In his solitude and resolve, Ryan’s Korolev evokes Martin Cruz Smith’s fierce Arkady Renko, while the period detail and gore call to mind Tom Rob Smith"
Library Journal

"Ryan’s research, and the genuine feel he has for the unique place and time, made The Holy Thief an especially good read."
Ellery Queen Magazine
