Zoran Drvenkar Press Reviews
'Sorry is the kind of thriller, the kind of novel, that doesn't come along every day...Sorry thrills, and it thrills immaculately. It's that oft-cited but very rare species of novel we call a page-turner, and it brilliantly achieves this because Drvenkar knows how to use all the tools at his disposal, to excellent effect.'
New York Times
'This thriller breaks with all conventions, topping all expectations. Drvenkar has taken the well
-known theme of guilt and atonement and turned it upside down, playing a morbid game with his protagonists and the reader. Fast paced and in deadly good style. A joy to read, a piece of art' Die Welt
'It's a terrific book, very dark, very sinister and very original. I loved it!it is really something special' JOANNE HARRIS
'It's rare that a book in the crime fiction genre can break all the writing conventions and yet keep you on the edge of your seat until the bitter end...Drvenkar breaks the mould with SORRY...A master of his craft.' COURIER MAIL
