Awards/获奖情况：My favourite contender for the inevitable title of "the next Gone Girl". (Katy Guest Independent)
Finished @FitzHelen’s new book. Funny, smart, moving and beautifully written, this should be *huge* next year. (Steve Mosby Twitter)
My favourite opening line to any novel for a long, long time. And the book gets better and better from that point. (Luca Veste Twitter)
Finished Viral by the fab @FitzHelen. SO glad I said no to 17-yr-old going to Kavos. Gripping, horribly plausible and utterly shocking. (Tammy Cohen Twitter)
Will be the most talked about opening line of 2016 - from Helen Fitzgerald’s latest, VIRAL. (Eva Dolan)
A blistering tale of a mother’s revenge - unflinching and utterly compelling. (Louise Millar)
I loved Helen’s book - it takes this 21st century subject by the balls and shakes it around with controlled yet rollercoaster abandon. In one page-turning thriller, she covers heredity, the internet, shaming, sexism, sibling rivalry and cultural identity. As well as being a rattling, sometimes graphically described tale, it is inherently warm-hearted, on the side of humanity. It has one of the best first lines I have ever read - up there with Anna Karenina - as well as a completely surprising, but beautifully structured ending. As a fifty-something woman, I particularly appreciate the character of Ruth, a 360 degree, complicated, fiery, avenging mother. A rare treat! (Julia Crouch)
It’s got all the juicy components to keep you hooked: a Magaluf sex tape, a suspicious supporting cast, an angry mother who is also a judge. Read it. (Stylist, ’One of 2016’s New Gone Girls’)
’Fresh and uncompromising, reliably topical and filled with unexpected reversals and twists, Helen Fitzgerald’s VIRAL is the latest gripping and darkly funny novel from one of crime fiction’s most daring and original voices.’ (Chris Ewan)
’Will be the most talked about opening line of 2016 - from Helen Fitzgerald’s latest, VIRAL’ (Eva Dolan)
"A compelling tale about the darkest aspects of contemporary humanity told with intelligence and surprising wit." (Lisa Ballantyne)
’a nuanced and perceptive look at social media and mysogyny.’ (John O’Connell Guardian)
’A fast and well written thriller with a topical theme, this is a more thoughtful novel than just a mother/daughter/viral sex tape romp.’ (Carla McKay Daily Mail)
