It’s no surprise that film rights for this novel have already been picked up by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures-TANGERINE is built for the big screen, from its grand locale to its hypnotic suspense. Come for TANGERINE’s stunning package and superb early praise stay for its razor-sharp portrayal of obsession and manipulation, set against cinematic scenery. Maddening, gripping, enchanting-I’m at risk of running out of adjectives to describe just how wholly impressive this debut is. This impeccably delivered suspense novel sets a plot worthy of Patricia Highsmith against the backdrop of dazzling, almost larger-than-life 1950’s Morocco. TANGERINE by Christine Mangan (on sale March 27th, 2018) is one such read. The Verdict: an outstanding debut in the vein of Patricia HighsmithĮvery so often, a debut crime novel comes along that is so technically sound and vividly imagined, you can hardly believe the author really has never published a book before.
