Review:
"Powerful . . . a fiendish story told with Katzenbach's usual skill and professionalism. . . . This is an exceptional novel—and a most troubling one." Washington Post
"Katzenbach reinvents the formula several times over in this absolutely gripping novel." Booklist (starred review)
"I raced through this book. . . . I read a ton of novels in this genre and thought I had the ending figured out within the first fourth of the book or so. Wrong. Even if you are a better guesser than I am, you will be entranced with What Comes Next. Don’t miss it."—BookReporter
"Reading What Comes Next is an experience akin to riding the scariest roller coaster ride: You gulp with the rush of both trepidation and excitement and you sigh with relief when it's over." New York Journal of Books
"Katzenbach has crafted a suspenseful cat-and-mouse thriller, a perfect literary mash-up of The Truman Show and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Already an international best seller, this will be widely popular with psychological thriller devotees."—Library Journal
