A snap decision has devastating consequences, in Belinda Bauer’s thrilling and brilliantly unconventional crime novel. Described as ‘the best crime novel I’ve read in a very long time’ by Val McDermid, Snap is a genre-defying novel that shows the lifetime’s fallout from the decision of a moment.
On a stifling summer’s day, 11-year-old Jack has been put in charge of his two sisters. They wait in the broken-down car for their mother to come back. But she doesn’t come back. She never comes back. Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they’re alone in the house. And then - quite suddenly - he’s in charge of finding out the truth about what happened to their mother.
“With her deeply quirky take, Belinda Bauer is totally unlike contemporaries, and all her crime novels have a very distinct identity. Readers never know what to expect with each new novel, except that it will be highly accomplished.” — Financial Times (UK)
