The modern thriller genre is wildly fortunate to have a writer as skilled as Connolly dedicated to growing this series. The Lovers is dark, bleak, prickly, adventurous, well paced, and precisely plotted. Connolly makes only smart narrative choices and leads the reader down many dark hallways before flipping on the light. Secrets revealed are acted upon and our understanding of this universe expands.

A smart and very well written novel. Highly recommended to fans of dark thrillers
