For fans of THE FALL, Sarah Hilary and MJ Arlidge, this slick, dark contemporary thriller will have you on the edge of your seat . . .
Alex Caan was born in Manchester, and has spent over a decade working in Information Systems Security for a number of government organisations, and is currently specialising in Terrorism Studies. A lifetime passion for writing was sparked by the encouraging words of an English Teacher in school, and eventually led to Alex successfully completing an MA in Creative Writing. Alex's debut Cut to the Bone was described as a 'pacy, intriguing debut' by Jon Wise and 'chillingly authentic' by bestselling author Lisa Hall.
A murder mystery story with a modern twist. Enjoyable read.

Left me positively breathless
*Angela Marsons, international million-copy bestselling author*
A chillingly authentic, bang-on-trend thriller - one you'd be a
fool to miss
*Lisa Hall, #1 bestselling author of Between You and Me*
Utterly contemporary, with a rapid pace and nail-biting tension
from the get-go, it's a super-twisty police procedural that kept me
guessing right until the end . . . perfect for readers who like
their police procedurals fast-paced, twisty-turny, and served with
a side order of grit. I loved it, and can't wait to read the next
in the series

Pacy, intriguing debut from a Manc who knows his stuff

This book opens with one of the most captivating introductions I
have read in a while! Caan's use of short sentences creates tension
effectively, gripping the reader and pulling them straight into the
dark and frightening situation which sets the tone for the rest of
this compelling thriller
*Bibliomaniac UK Book Blog*
I found it gripping from start to finish with realistic characters
and plotting . . . bring on the next book!
*Melissa Reads A Lot Book Blog*
Cut to the Bone is a great read. It is full of psychological
suspense that will keep the reader enthralled right to the end. The
finger of suspicion keeps moving and the reader is kept guessing.
All the ingredients of a bestseller and I suspect a great career in
writing for Alex Caan
*Swirl and Thread Book Blog*
I love novels with a strong female protagonist and Kate broke the
mold. This is a twisted thriller with a few surprises I didn't see
coming
*For the Love of Books Blog*
A contemporary thriller that keeps you on your toes
*Rachel’s Random Reads*
A promising debut novel for Alex Caan, and he presents the readers
with a switchback plot and a cast of dodgy and really rather
unpleasant new media types, all of who deny having it in for Ruby.
It's a dark tale that takes some very unexpected directions and
where people are never quite as they seem
*Crime Review*
Cut to the Bone by Alex Caan is a brilliant, fast paced nail biter
of a story, tapping into the murky world of a growing on-line
presence... This is definitely one of my top reads for the year and
I can't wait to see what Alex Caan delivers next. I don't know that
there are enough stars in a 5 star Amazon/GoodReads rating system
to do my feelings about this book justice
*Jen Med Book Reviews*
This is a well written, very clever crime drama and I enjoyed it
hugely. A five out of five star read
*In My Own Little World*
Every once in a while there's a book that captures the attention of
the majority of reviewers, social medial seems to be awash with
comments about a book and the more people hint about it, the most
intrigued you get. That was definitely the case with Cut to the
Bone...Cut to the Bone is an addictive and compelling read, for a
debut it really is impressive. I can't wait to see where Alex Caan
takes these characters next!
*The Quiet Knitter*
Cut To The Bone has all the ingredients for a gripping read - a
missing YouTube vlogger, a million suspects, and a pair of
detectives with secrets to hide
*The City Story*
Short, snappy chapters kept me reading late into the night, as the
plot (at times worthy of Bond) twisted and turned. In short, Cut To
The Bone is an impressive debut thriller and I hope there is more
to come with DCI Riley and DS Harris
*Joy Kluver book blog*
A fantastic debut full of a great mixture of characters with a plot
that was as interesting as it was unusual
*Cleopatra Loves Books*
I really enjoyed this novel...The characters were perfect, most of
which I did not care for but I feel that this was what the author
Alex Caan was aiming for. I found DCI Kate Riley and DS Zain Harris
quite a fascinating pairing, both with their own complicated lives
both present and past. I hope that Alex Caan is going to continue
with this pair in future novels
*From Dusk till Dawn*
An author in keeping up with modern times, creating a dark crime
thriller about the vlogging community. Cut to the Bone is a dark
and intriguing read
*Off the Shelf Book Reviews*
With its vlogging community undercurrent, Cut to the Bone will
greatly appeal to a contemporary audience
*Little Bookness Lane*
This is a great debut thriller, and I really hope this isn't the
last we will be seeing of Detectives Zain and Kate
*Rachel's Random Reads*
Alex Caan in my opinion brings the theme of murder mystery into the
21st century in an absolute amazing way! And, I would recommend it
to absolutely anyone that enjoys say the BBC TV series "The Fall"
because this gripped me as much as that did. So, 10/10 book for me!
Please please go read it, you will not regret it!
*DreamBigBloggerxoxo*
With its vlogging community undercurrent, Cut to the Bone will
greatly appeal to a contemporary audience. There are heaps of
devious Red Herrings and characters to get the wrong end of the
stick about. For me, the underlying psychology as to how some
people react to being in the public eye by either respecting the
audience they attract or taking full advantage of them was both
enlightening and disturbing
*Little Bookness Lane*
I was enthralled, I could not put this book down...an excellent
read
*Debbie Krenzer*
It was no surprise to me, when Alex Caan was nominated as a rising
star by Amazon. Cut to the Bone became a firm favourite with me,
the instant I read it. I love it when an author brings a very up
postmodern sub-culture to the forefront. Don't miss out on this
dark highly contemporary tale
*Northern Crime Review Book Blog*
Full of tension, and up to date...You'll chew your nails, and take
turns to turn the pages
*Frost Magazine*
A dark and atmospheric police procedural with a modern twist. It's
a fast-paced read and a classic page-turner. Just one more page,
just one more chapter, where will the fickle finger of suspicion
alight next?
*Espresso Coco*
Unlike any thriller I've read before...a rollercoaster ride
*Sparkles Books*
Prepare for a ride of unpredictable turns that make this a police
procedural not to be missed. The short chapters and swift plotting
help the pages fly in this modern thriller of conspiracy and
captivating characters
*Crime Thriller Hound*
Alex Caan's Cut To The Bone, was my book of the summer for
Sainsbury's Entertainment . . . an impressive thriller exploring
the seedier side of vlogging and fame
*Joy Kluver*
Alex Caan's debut novel is an interesting and fast paced read. It's
pitched well, without too much emphasis on the technicalities of
internet vlogging, making it accessible to anyone with a passion
for a punchy thriller
*Breakaway Reviewers*
Cleverly written with a witty narrative, this book is bang on trend
with current issues and is thoroughly well researched. Filled with
twists, shocks and an ending that will leave you breathless, Cut To
The Bone is a riveting and dark crime story that keeps the reader
on their toes
*Handwritten Girl*
'OH MY GOD - what a book! I had been in a bit of a reading slump
until I started Cut To The Bone and my mojo returned tenfold! This
book EXCITED me - right to the core of my being EX-CIT-ED!! if you
are looking for a spine-tingling, chilling, exciting, suspenseful
read that will leave you gasping for more...then #BuyThisBook!'
