What the critics say

The best thriller for years
His best yet: a fast paced thriller, pulsing with suspense, that surpasses even the expertly handled tensions and twists of Fatherland
Robert Harris confirms his position as Britain's pre-eminent literary thriller writer with Archangel
A really gripping narrative, full of suspense and unexpected turns, which will keep you hooked until the climax on its final page... I have never read a thriller based in Russia which has such an authentic feel
Archangel is Harris's strongest book yet, confirming him as the leading current exponent of the intelligent literary thriller
As the suspense builds, the reader needs to turn the pages ever faster... with Harris's controlling foot on the narrative pedal, the reader has no choice but to ride, enthralled, towards the plunging abyss
I remained immersed in this marvellous book until its culmination arrived with depressing swiftness...Readers of Archangel are in for an exciting ride. They will also learn a lot
Nerve tingling... nobody is more adept... a talent for heart-poundingly tense story-telling and an ability to conjure up atmospheres almost palpable with menace
All stars

Robert Harris is one of my favorite authors, and 'Archangel' does not disappoint. Like a number of Harris' novels, the plot is historical fiction, but is so well rooted in fact and plausibility that the reader/listener is fully engaged as the story unfolds bit by bit. As usual, this novel, which relates to events in Stalin-era USSR is well researched and well executed. The characters are relatable, right up to the surprise ending.

Engaging and Thoughtfully Unsettling
