Review
'In truth, Blanchard writes so well that even her quiet descriptions of desolate towns and lonely people are good enough to rattle the rafters' New York Times Book Review 'A heart-pounding, highly literary novel full of stunning art and science. Blanchard's descriptions of what it feels and looks like to be inside a tornado at its full power are riveting and addictive' Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune 'The Breathtaker is a dark and stormy novel and a particularly thrilling one' Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News 'A well-crafted thriller' Booklist 'A relatively new writer, Blanchard is ready to take on the established authors in the genre with a book filled with polished prose and gripping tension. This book was a joy to read and a good scare to boot' Chicago Sun Times 'A complete treat for readers who like some thrills with their mysteries . . . Blanchard dips us into the odd little world of storm chasers, both the professionals and the hobbyists. It's a terrific thriller that does not insult the intelligent reader and just gets harder to put down as the pages turn' John Orr, San Jose Mercury News 'A brilliant study of violence and grief, powerful as the tornado itself' - Independent on Sunday 'The Breathtaker is a dark and stormy novel and a particularly thrilling one' - Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News
