"[Deaver] has the intelligence and skills to do anything and
everything...It is a book like no other you have read."--Huffington
Post
"Don't skip ahead to the beginning and spoil the fun that's
guaranteed for anyone interested in a thriller that forces readers
to use their brains in a creative way...Deaver is a master of
manipulation and The October List is a small but powerful
book."--Associated Press
"Elegantly clever...The novel takes a mischievous delight in
misleading the reader, without ever outright cheating. It offers a
delightful game of wits with the author."--The Columbus
Dispatch
"Might well be Deaver's most fiendish thriller ever...as the pace
quickens and the story continues to backtrack, solid evidence,
established plot points and sturdily built characters all begin to
come undone, until what started out as an interactive game becomes
a truly unnerving exercise in deception."--New York Times Book
Review
"Perhaps the cleverest of all Deaver's exceptionally clever
thrillers. If you've ever wished you could take the film Memento to
the beach, here's your chance."--Kirkus (STARRED review/Best Books
of 2013)
"The premise is clever, but Deaver's ability to execute it
successfully makes this experimental novel even more impressive.
Revealing the ending first, he still manages to surprise with a few
twists, constantly challenging readers' understanding of the story.
Read it backward, forward, once or twice, to see how all the pieces
fit together--just be sure to chase down this List
yourself."--Shelf Awareness
"Thriller Award-winner Deaver (Edge) delivers a clever, demanding
stand-alone...As the ingenious plot folds back on itself, the
reader has to reevaluate and reinterpret the constantly shifting
"facts" in the case. The finished picture finally emerges with a
shock of recognition. This is brilliant craftsmanship in a vastly
entertaining package."--Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW)
