This is one of these novels where you read it, not just to see what happens at the end, but to see what happens on the very next page

Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way, which is why his new novel, Reconstruction, reads as much like a puzzle mystery as it does a thriller...unpleasant things are bound to happen, and they do - but not until Herron has finished surprising us . ..there is no hiding under the desk

Good characterisation, dialogue and well-paced narrative make this confident first novel frighteningly plausible'
