''Timely, surprising, emotionally alive, this is about as good as suspense fiction gets.'' --Washington Post
''56 Days is a terrific novel written by an author who is certain to become a distinguished voice in crime fiction. You won't want to stop reading until the very end.'' --Karin Slaughter, New York Times and internationally bestselling author
''Catherine Ryan Howard brings crime writing to a new level.'' --Sam Blake, bestselling author of Little Bones, on The Nothing Man
''Bloody good ... kept me guessing as I turned the pages at a furious clip.'' --The New York Times
''56 Days, Catherine’s newest crime novel, is without a doubt my favorite book of hers yet -- and destined to be one of my top favorite books of the year. This clever and claustrophobic domestic thriller utilizes the pressure cooker of Ireland’s strict COVID lockdown policies to amp up the tension between a newly dating couple who decide to move in together rather than be forced to stay apart when COVID lands on Ireland’s shores. This book is masterfully plotted, deliciously entertaining, and brimming with the kinds of clever twists and reveals that you really won’t see coming.'' --Crime by the Book
''56 Days is definitely one for thriller lovers that crave suspenseful story lines. Catherine Ryan Howard is a mastermind with this one.'' --Fresh Fiction
