'An explosive debut from an author who is bound for greatness . . . This book is deliciously disturbing with an ending that is beyond perfection. *****' WebbWeaver
'Random grabs you by the throat right on the very first page and holds you firmly in its teeth until spitting you out, exhausted, at the end. Absolutely awesome. And with enough twists and turns to keep even the most hardened crime fiction fan satisfied' Eurocrime
'Random was a real reading revelation for me. Flagged as a thriller it is a pacy, tense and disturbing book. It's also a reflective, moving and emotional book. It was one of those books that took all my reading assumptions, pitched them out a window and ran over them with a bus just to make sure they were well dead and buried' Crimespace
'If you like to read thrillers that aren't a dime a dozen and don't fit the picture you have of thrillers Random is a perfect pick!' Pearl's World of Romance
'If you like Tarantino-esque tales of gangland killings, violent hardnuts and people's lives spiralling out of control, you'll enjoy reading this. It's dark and depressing, violent and disturbing and has some nice little unexpected twists tucked away to keep us reading to the end' Madhouse Family Reviews
'This is a novel that really gets under your skin. Not only is the complex plot expertly managed (I was sure I knew who the murderer was at least twice before being prove comprehensively wrong) and the Glasgow setting brilliantly utilised, but the actions of the sniper himself mean this, for many, will be anything but a simple case of goodies versus baddies/.../The world Robertson creates in Snapshot is dark and often depressingly grubby. But it's also fascinating, challenging and, dare I say it, edge-of-the-seat and heart-in-the-mouth entertaining.' Gregor White, Stirling Observer
