Omschrijving
The architecture of Mishani's new book is meticulously crafted, the tension builds up step by step as a result of the fatal choices the protagonists make. With huge talent Mishani shows the normality of everyday life in Israel as a fertile ground for pure evil . . . A sophisticated literary machine, Three is a work written like a Shakespearean play . . . I believe it'll be remembered as a work that heralded a new-wave in Israeli fiction just as My Michael by Amos Oz did a few decades ago
Dror Mishani writes with profound originality
Dror Mishani has reached the world league of crime fiction
Dror Mishani marvellously handles the art of suspense
Dror Mishani is one of the greatest new writers in the genre
A psychological drama that goes far beyond the standard thriller plot
Three is an outstanding thriller. From the first page, Mishani's addictive prose begins its work, drawing you into a devious plot where life, fate and murder intertwine. A steady hand, immersive writing and masterful storytelling. This is suspense at its best
Superb, the way darkness snakes its way into these apparently humdrum lives. A book with killer twists that are impossible to see coming, but utterly convincing.The pay-off for the reader is fantastic
In three parts, there are very effectful plot twists just when you expect them least.Psychologically sophisticated suspense and three touching and subtle portraits of women
I was nailed to this story. In serene, almost transparent prose Mishani leads us into a devilish underworld of other minds, where real and imaginary collide and answers cannot be guessed but we desperately want them, right to the end. Riveting and masterly
A masterpiece that - on quiet paws - evokes more insight than some of the many editorials
Dror Mishani is the undisputable spiritual heir to George Simenon
The characters and mood of this intriguing page-turner remain with the reader long after the last page.
an utterly convincing and utterly compelling exercise in Highsmithian horror
A Tel-Aviv-set psychological thriller . . . with surprise after surprise stored up its clever sleeve, Dror Mishani's stand-alone serial killer tale . . . with a difference evokes both Patricia Highsmith and the quiet desperation of some of Simenon's non-Maigret novels
