Last Night in Montreal, the stunning debut novel from the bestselling author of Station Eleven, is a breathtakingly plotted and intelligent game of cat-and-mouse; between lovers, between detectives and trails, and of lost people attempting to capture the elusive truth of their own lives.

Last Night in Montreal is literary crime fiction of the highest order. It is unusual to encounter a novel that so vividly creates a sense of life on the run . . . Intense and lyrical, the novel asks unsettling questions about who is the real victim of the tragedy that looms over the characters. * The Sunday Times *
Mandel is an exuberant storyteller * New York Times *
Finely wrought . . . What we're made to ponder is the mystery of human connection: how it is born, how it fades and dies and revives, how love defines us or leaves us undone * Globe and Mail *
Taut, gripping . . . elegantly compelling * Booklist *
Mandel has a beautiful writing style * Independent on Sunday *
Mandel tells an utterly absorbing story, pulling readers down the rabbit hole and keeping them racing through its long, strange warrens. The writing is vibrant, and Lilia is a vivid and haunting character . . . Last Night in Montreal is an exciting debut: a thriller, a love story, and a quiet ballad about life's fleeting connections * Quill & Quire *
Highly recommended for all contemporary fiction collections * Library Journal *
