    Kept me stuck to my seat with tension and excitement
  

*by J***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2021*

I've read all the John Niven books over the years - loving their darkness and the grimy feeling that you get as you read them. Recently I realised that this one had been missed out (first published in 2012) so I bought it.324 pages split into 43 chapters. Also worth noting that this edition has a fairly large font size so I was expecting a quick paced, easy to read thriller.It's a fascinating start with a man convincing himself into writing his account of an event which was clearly life changing.From this point onwards the tension starts to build up, we know that something bad has happened on many levels and we are led to believe that everything is now catching up with our narrator. Donnie's life is seemingly perfect but someone is out to make sure he loses everything.The narrative flips between the privileged existence of the present day in Canada and his tough world as a teenager in a poor Scottish town. Contrasts and half lies carry the first half of the book then everything starts to quickly get much darker as secret gradually begin to emerge.The plot is cleverly structured with different strands blending in together, mostly narrated by the main character. We know from the start that he is writing this so there is one inevitable part of the ending but anything else could happen to anyone and the the tension is huge.John Niven never skims over the gore and there is plenty of that here.This book is clever and engaging all the way through with an ending that kept me stuck to my seat until it was over.

    Gripping
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2021*

Not a regurgitation of a Misery horror, I'm happy to say, yet a horror nevertheless, gripping, with plenty of twists and turns.I very much enjoyed the novel, having only read one by this author previously. I will certainly recommend it to others.However, just a word to the author: There are two pints to the quart and four quarts to the gallon. Donnie/William should have been picturing 7quart jugs and one pint when visualising the amount of blood required to save him.

    Visceral, gripping and well written
  

*by V***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2012*

A terrific full-on ride for thiller lovers from John J Niven.  Aspiring screenwriter Donald Miller lives in affluent small-town comfort with his wealthy wife and their young son. As the big snows of a massive Canadian winter loom, the family dog goes missing. Niven hauls us from the vast freeze of present-day Canada back to a different kind of chill, the claustrophobic desolation of Donald's childhood in 1980s Scotland, the repercussions of which Donald still has to live with. Niven writes with perception, wit, a great ear for street dialogue and a terrific pace, piling on the thrills and a number of original and (be warned) violent scenes. Ironically, it's the piling on of the tension towards the end that just stopped me giving Cold Hands the full five stars. The denouement is too drawn out. But this is a small criticism of a memorable well-written thriller that deals with serious themes.
