Reviews

"Karen Cleveland is the real deal - an exciting new voice in thrillers." * Patricia Cornwell * "Heart-poundingly suspenseful and heart-wrenchingly insightful, NEED TO KNOW hums with authentic detail, crisp storytelling, and characters that will long stay in your thoughts." * J. P. DELANEY, author of THE GIRL BEFORE * "Need to Know carves out a uniquely compelling space among thrillers: high-stakes international intrigue combined with high-drama domestic suspense. These richly overlapping layers of tension create a fast-paced, relentlessly gripping read." * CHRIS PAVONE, author of THE EXPATS * "First word to last, I needed to know! Karen Cleveland's spy thriller about a wife, mother and CIA analyst on the prowl for a Russian cell is a timely dance of intrigue and deception. There are two female heroes here . . . the author, an actual CIA analyst, and the terrific protagonist she creates. One of my favourite espionage thrillers in a long time." * JULIA HEABERLIN, author of BLACK-EYED SUSANS * "Gripping, tense, and packed full of insider knowledge. A need-to-read." * MICK HERRON, author of Dead Lions *
