"Utterly compelling, rich with voice and psychological insight, populated with heartbreakingly real characters, The Lost Ones will stay with you for a long, long time after you finish the last page. Perhaps forever." - Jeffery Deaver
"A brave, unflinching heroine and brave, unflinching writing add up to an extraordinary debut-highly recommended." - Lee Child
"Suspenseful, atmospheric and often deeply moving, The Lost Ones features one of the most complicated and fascinating protagonists I've come across in a long time. I'd follow Nora Watts (and her dog, Whisper) anywhere." - Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author
"Sheena Kamal is being hailed . . . as the next Gillian Flynn." - Irish Independent
"[A] searing debut...Though comparisons to Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander are inevitable, Nora blazes her own shining trail. A gritty, violent read with a tough, idiosyncratic, dryly witty heroine readers will root for even if they wouldn't want to invite her home." - Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
"An intriguing twist on the standard missing-person thriller, Kamal's debut is raw, violent, and thought provoking. An author to watch!" - Library Journal
