Review
「令人秉住呼吸，發不出聲音，一部讓你一直翻到最後一頁的小說」----美國犯罪/懸疑/推理大師傑佛瑞迪佛(Jeffery Deaver)
「第一部女性推理必讀系列」--愛爾蘭黑色小說之王肯‧布勞恩（Ken Bruen），暢銷書《神父》（Priest）作者
’Third Strike hits home with the impact of a high-velocity jacketed round . . . Nothing hollow-point about this book! Breathlessly compelling and utterly real, this novel will keep you turning pages till dawn. Charlie Fox is simply the best . . .’--美國犯罪/懸疑/推理大師傑佛瑞迪佛(Jeffery Deaver)
’Scarily good’ --【英國驚悚小說天王】李查德(LEE CHILD)
’Charlie Fox is fast becoming the must-read heroine of mystery.’
Ken Bruen--愛爾蘭黑色小說之王肯‧布勞恩（Ken Bruen），暢銷書《神父》（Priest）作者
Today’s best action heroine is back with a bang. Cross your fingers and toes that she survives for future adventures – you’ll definitely want her to’ Lee Child
‘Zoe Sharp is the best kept secret in crime fiction, it’s about time this changed. Miss this at your peril’ Stuart MacBride
‘Thrills and twists aplenty in this absorbing mystery, which proves she can hold her own against crime fiction’s toughest men’ Sunday Telegraph
‘The narrative moves like a banshee on speed. Charlie Fox is fast becoming the must-read heroine of mystery…Superb’ Ken Bruen
‘Breathlessly compelling and utterly real, Third Strike will keep you turning pages till dawn.’ Jeffery Deaver
"Once again, Zoe Sharp finds a way to make the thriller genre her own by focusing on the psychological toll that violence takes upon a person...if you’re prepared to travel some very dark and thoughtful corners, this is the book (and series) to read."
Sarah Weinmann, reviewer for the Baltimore Sun
"Sharp expertly captures the frenetic energy of New York without sacrificing her trademark British women. Charlie is as tough as she is damaged, and readers will kill for the next installment" Publishers Weekly
"Sharp captures readers on the first page and doesn’t let go" Library Journal
“British author Sharp has her settings (from New York to England to Texas) down pat. Her characters bristle with life (and occasionally death). The author never forgets that Charlie has been wounded (physically and psychologically) and therefore cannot be a super-powered hero. The action sequences are brutally realistic in light of that limitation. Charlie Fox is totally believable, thanks to Sharp’s writing skill. So is this exceptional novel.” Mystery News
“Addictively readable. Breakneck pacing...This [is] one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there.” Chicago Tribune
