Magical in its storytelling, the novel lingers in the memory long after an immensely satisfying denouement

I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone's recall perfect? This isn't just a very clever thriller - it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.

Julia Heaberlin (bestselling author of Black Eyed Susans)

An elegant, gripping, multi-layered tale about the illusory nature of truth and memory. I loved it.

A literary thriller - complex, gripping and a beautiful read.

This Romanian author's debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration the tricks memory can play

An impressive first novel, intelligent and well written’

This twisty, brilliantly written tale of a grisly unsolved murder at Princeton asks if we can truly trust our own memories. This nuanced, multi-layered book has a cracking plot to boot and will be devoured by thriller fans

Intricately plotted…Faulty memories, outright lies, and secrets make it hard to know whom to believe. The action builds to a crafty and believable resolution.

This is a fine multi-layered, intelligent crime story that will keep you guessing about more than just the perpetrator of the crime. The author has created characters with depth and feeling. They take hold of you and immerse you in the story, leaving you reluctant to let it go until the final pages have been read. A certain winner.

I read The Book of Mirrors in a single sitting. It’s a brilliant novel that is utterly compelling

Chirovici draws his characters well and tantalizes the reader with judiciously timed revelations. A smart, sophisticated murder puzzle sure to please the more literary-minded aficionados of the form

Beautifully written, with a very clear structure

This is as much a whydunit as a whodunit and the reader is drawn deeper into a web of ruthless ambition, manipulation and revenge

One of the most suspenseful and unguessable crime mysteries I have ever read.

Not only is this a clever read but it is also a well-written one. Encompassing nuances of plot, depth of character and intensity of narrative there is little to fault in the beautiful construction of this.

Fast-paced with a cast of untrustworthy characters, this is compelling suspense fiction at its finest

The Book of Mirrors is exactly what I look for in a thriller: a great concept, brilliantly executed, smarter than it seems and knotty enough to keep you guessing. Like the best stories about memory, it leaves the reader wondering what's true and what isn't.

seamless mix of literary experiment and page-turning mystery

this is a meta-novel which possesses ripping momentum and brims with ambiguity. A high-grade mystery that’s ripe for investigation.

Intrigue, confusion, and considerable fact distortion reign supreme in the extreme trial by memory presented by The Book of Mirrors

Already shrouded in hype and hysteria, The Book of Mirrors is going to be the one to watch in 2017

this book is going to be a 2017 smash (but don’t cut yourself on the glass) hit!

An entertaining, clever story, told in an engaging manner that fits the story. I’ll be keen to read more work by EO Churovici in the future.

The Book of Mirrors is a fascinating read that shatters the bubble each character is living in. Intelligently written, the novel offers a good insight into the depth of our memories, and the stories that shape our lives

2017 has got off to a blinding start and for all those who have books to publish later in the year: Watch Out. There’s a new guy in town and, man, is he good!

The story is clever, well-paced and well-constructed

The Book of Mirrorsis a very clever and well written novel

It keeps you guessing right to the last page and, even afterwards, leaves you wondering how much of what we accept as reality exists only in our own minds

I found The Book of Mirrors extremely difficult to put down

An entertaining, clever story, told in an engaging manner that fit the story. I’ll be keen to read more work by EO Chirovici in the future

This is an interesting, well-written book with plenty of layers and depth ... E.O. Chirovici writes really well, and creates a novel which you’ll want to keep reading. It’s different and deliciously deep, drawing you in as you try to unravel the details

This intelligent multi-layered psychological thriller examines human memory, recollection, self-delusion and how memories can be manipulated. If you want to immerse yourself in a compelling ‘whodunit’, this book will not disappoint!

This is cerebral crime in the manner of Umberto Echo and Paul Auster ... Readers will be spurred on to keep turning the pages by feeling that the ending will reveal not just what the truth is, but what is Truth

There’s so much to like about The Book of Mirrors. The story is clever, well-paced and well-constructed

Chirovici has written a very clever book. The plot twists and turns, backtracks and goes round in circles, so you can never be quite sure where it’s going to go next.

The Book of Mirrors will keep you up until you’ve finished it

Twisty novel full of unexpected developments and untrustworthy characters

An intriguing whydunit underpinned by a treatise on memory, as a number of witnesses create a cat’s cradle of conflicting testimony designed to keep the reader guessing to the very end

The Book of Mirrorsengages on a number of levels. Chirovici delights in leading the reader down various blind alleys and keeps us turning the pages
