Praise
"Robotham sharpens the conventional horror with his unerring eye for psychological detail, his mastery of pace, and his spooky villain, a manipulator as monstrous as Hannibal Lector." (starred review)
01/15/2009
"Shatter is a gripping journey into the weaknesses and strengths of the human psyche, a story of humanity and inhumanity - and how one can become the other - and how depravation and cruelty can be the flip side of love."
- Peter Millar
02/14/2008
"Structuring his story as a fascinating game of cat and mouse, Robotham tightens the screws until the reader is ready to beg for mercy. Shatter is psychological suspense at its finest."
