“Unbearably tense and nail-biting.”

“I read it in two sittings, which felt like one too many.”

“Breathtaking. SAY YOU’RE SORRY IS Michael’s eighth crime thriller and I think it’s the best yet.”

“Robotham’s writing ranges from insightful to superb… Subtle, smart, compelling and blessed with both an intelligent storyline and top-notch writing, this book will grab readers from page one and not let go until the final sentence.”

“Ned Kelly Award–winner Robotham’s taut seventh psychological thriller…doesn’t shy away from the unsettling, but he never seeks merely to titillate.”

“Michael is a master of his genre and every book he writes is better than his last. Even if you’re not a fan of crime writing, I can assure you that SAY YOU’RE SORRY, with its psychological suspense and breakneck pace, may just change your mind.”

“Shattering, often sickening, still I guarantee you’ll read until the last page.”

“A taut and thrilling narrative that as buttressed by a strong sense of realism, engaging characters and a multitude of twists and turns to keep readers guessing. Once you crack the cover, you’ll be hard-pressed to stop turning pages until you reach the end.”

“Robotham’s latest thriller delivers finely nuanced characters, genuine banter and an absorbing plot that will engage the most jaded mystery fan.”

“Michael Robotham returns with another stellar book in his finely written series… O’Loughlin is a wonderful character, reluctant and observant and compassionate in equal measure…”
