The unconventional plot, the constant surprises, and above all the psychological depth of the characters all make this a first-rate crime novel.

I could not tear myself away from Jeff Abbott's mesmerizing, gripping, and claustrophobic novel. BLAME is the perfect blend of complex characters, plot twists galore, and great psychological suspense. Don't miss it. -Harlan Coben

Engrossing....an emotionally complex tale replete with finely drawn characters, shocking twists, and convincing red herrings.

BLAME is a cut above the average thriller. Abbott carefully untangles his plot at just the right momentsa feat of pacing and timingand his prose is stellar throughout. It's tack-sharp and evocative without being overwrought. The gossip and finger pointing, the resentments and recriminations, all come undone in a hair-raising finale. BLAME is a deft portrait of frailty and suffering, and a riveting thriller that doesn't let up. (starred review)

UK: Little, Brown

Not only is Jeff Abbott's BLAME the most additive thriller of the summer, it also happens to be an astute study of the corrosive nature of blame and the destructive power of its sibling emotion, guilt. Read more...

Blame is a masterful suspense novel, full of dread, lies, and deceptions. Abbott is one of our finest writers, and Blame takes his talents to new levels. Sinister and twisting, this is hands-down the best book you'll read--and re-read--this year. Absolutely top-notch ?J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author

Last year, Harlan Coben's Fool Me Once was our highest-rated thriller of 2016. Abbot's BLAME is every bit as good and packs even more surprises along the way, leading up to a shocking ending that nobody, not even veteran readers of the genre, will ever see coming. Abbott's lightning-quick pacing and constant twists and turns make his latest offering impossible to put down. A one-sit read that'll have readers up way past their bedtimes, BLAME is Jeff Abbott's best novel so farand a strong contender for best psychological thriller of the year.
