A masterclass in psychological suspense, The Dark Device by Hannah Lees is a gripping crime novel that draws the reader into a world of secrets, moral ambiguity, and the devastating consequences of hidden truths. With a storytelling voice honed across several works — including Prescription for Murder and Death in the Doll's House — Lees constructs a narrative that is both tightly plotted and richly atmospheric, placing her characters under pressure until their most dangerous qualities are exposed. Lees writes with a cool, precise authority that belies the turbulent emotions churning beneath her stories' surfaces, and The Dark Device is no exception. Her prose is elegant yet unsparing, presenting the darker mechanisms of human nature with unflinching clarity. Published by the venerable John Murray of London, this novel stands as a testament to the golden age of British crime writing — and leaves the reader wondering, until the very last page, who among us is truly capable of the unthinkable.
