Couldn't put it down. *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2013* The latest installment of the Simon Waterhouse-Charlie Zailer series is fascinating, brilliant and FUN. Fans of these two detectives won't be in the least disappointed.This book kept me constantly surprised and unable to predict the plot twists -- which every mystery lover will appreciate. The chemistry between the lead detectives is as sparkling and engaging as ever. Hannah is so good at writing hilarious moments while the characters are in the midst of a tense scene.The story begins with world-travelling executive Gaby Struthers having a bizarre encounter at an airport in Germany. What follows is a beautifully intricate, riveting psychological thriller that honestly kept me awake at night wondering what was really going on. This author is, in my opinion, at the very top of the list of thriller authors and I can't wai tfor her next one. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Speak up! *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2013* I'm normally a fan of Sophie Hannah's books and of the way she can turn a seemingly ordinary event into a gripping mystery, but The Carrier never seems to find its pace. Part of the problem is the letters that open the book and that make up several chapters. As narrative devices, letters are often problematic; it's difficult to create much conflict with a letter. However, the letters in The Carrier are particularly problematic. Not only are they addressed to a stroke victim who is unable react in any way to the letters, but they are mostly written in the second person ("I don't want to write this letter, and you're never going to read it.") The "you" in the letters makes them feel particularly distant from the reader, especially when that "you" will never even know that the letters exist.But the most problematic part of the novel is that the mystery exists only because every character in the book refuses to reveal the truth. This refusal makes for a frustrating novel. If the characters would just speak up and reveal what they know, the mystery could end on the first page. The characters' refusal to speak feels more like a plot device than a true motivation for their actions, making the novel feel forced and unnatural.I'm disappointed in Sophie Hannah this time. She's such a clever author, and her novels are so unusual. The Carrier, however, seems to depend on narrative trickery, rather than on believable conflict. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best in the series *by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2015* I was on the edge of my seat regarding this Sophie Hannah mystery. She always begins extremely well. You're hooked by the opening and read on breathlessly to see what is happening and what will happen. Sometimes she pulls it off, sometimes though, she does not.In this case she absolutely does. Everything was answered, and answered well. Were some of the motivations for what happened a bit odd? Yes, but believable enough that I could buy into what was going on and why. I won't get into the plot: that's clear enough from the other reviews and the book description but if you, like me are one of those who is concerned that the series can uneven, this is one of the good ones.I wasn't always such a fan of the Zailer-Waterhouse relationship but it's grown on me. And Charlie and Simon seem to be better with each other in this book in a way that makes sense for them. All in all, one of her best. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/34796128-the-carrier-a-zailer-and-waterhouse-mystery-a-zailer-waterhouse](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/34796128-the-carrier-a-zailer-and-waterhouse-mystery-a-zailer-waterhouse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
