“The very definition of thriller: threats modern and ancient, winding around one of the world’s great museums, with a cast of compelling individuals who move through gloriously exotic settings. M. J. Rose tells a story built on the idea that saving love is indistinguishable from saving the world. ” –Laurie R. King

“Rose’s work defies comparison, THE HYPNOTIST so cutting edge that the pages stop just short of slicing your fingers as you race to turn them. She draws us into a world totally of her own making, and the result is a slick, ambitious, and beautifully written tale.” — Providence Journal

“THE HYPNOTIST has something for everyone: murder, suspense, history, romance, the supernatural, mystery and erotica. These elements are woven together so skillfully that the whole becomes something new and different…. Rose, who never disappoints either her die-hard fans or the casual reader, has surpassed herself.” –Bookreporter.com
