Belinda Bauer grew up in England and South Africa and now lives in
Wales. She worked as a journalist and a screenwriter before finally
writing a book to appease her nagging mother.
For her debut, Blacklands, Belinda was awarded the CWA Gold Dagger
for Crime Novel of the Year. She went on to win the CWA Dagger in
the Library for her body of work. Her fourth novel, Rubbernecker,
was voted Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year. Her
eighth novel, Snap, was a Sunday Times bestseller. It was
longlisted for the Man Booker prize and voted Crime & Thriller Book
of the Year at the Specsavers National Book Awards.
Her books have been translated into twenty-five languages.
Such warmth and wit.
*Sunday Telegraph*
A crime novel . . . but not as you know it.
*Woman & Home*
Beady-eyed yet tender, it resembles a collaboration between Agatha
Christie and Muriel Spark.
*Sunday Times (Thriller of the Month)*
Fresh, funny, flawless: EXIT is a joy from start to finish.
*Clare Mackintosh, author of LET ME LIE*
Charming, intensely human . . . and very suspenseful. I loved
it.
*Lee Child*
EXIT is ingeniously plotted and every word is perfect. It’s a rare
book that has you turning the pages impatiently, desperate to solve
the mystery, all the while never wanting it to end because it’s
such a joy to read. Felix Pink is the most loveable killer in
recent fiction.
*Erin Kelly, author of HE SAID/SHE SAID*
Twisty, brilliantly plotted and funny too. Felix Pink is a
wonderful character and I just wanted to hug him. (He'd be
horrified!)
*Jill Mansell, author of MAYBE THIS TIME*
Cleverly plotted, touching and funny.
*Bookseller*
EXIT is the perfect antidote to the nervy gloom of this shut-down
world. It's warm and funny and dark and sad all at the same time,
beautifully plotted and paced, and peopled with fabulous, complex
characters that have drawn me right into their lives. Felix is fast
becoming one of my favourite fictional characters.
*Donal Ryan, author of FROM A LOW AND QUIET SEA*
This darkly funny crime novel has possibly the most unique concept
I've come across: 75-year-old Felix is part of a network called the
Exiteers, who sit with people who have chosen to end their lives.
Except on his most recent mission, something goes wrong and Felix
finds himself on the run for murder. For fans of Kate Atkinson's
Jackson Brodie books.
*Good Housekeeping*
I loved Exit. Belinda Bauer writes the sort of characters who rock
your world view and yet pull you in totally. Her plots are
completely out of left field but she is singing my tune. A fan for
life (I know, slightly creepy) and cannot wait for the next...
*Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW*
Exit is an absolute delight, a darkly comic mystery that will keep
you guessing while you frantically turn the pages, and Felix is one
of the most loveable fugitives ever created. This ingenious and
unique crime novel is the perfect tonic to the gloom of another
lockdown.
*Sunday Express*
A cunningly plotted thriller with more than a dash of Joe
Orton-like black comedy. Bauer confirms her status as one of our
most consistently inventive crime novelists.
*Mail on Sunday*
This intriguing, tender, funny and sometimes (in the best possible
way) farcical novel about life and death is a sheer delight.
*Guardian*
The plot is breakneak, but what lingers most is the hero's capacity
for empathy at any cost.
*New York Times, Editor's Choice*
