I raced through this gripping tale of domesticity and deceit. Cleveland deliciously ratchets up the tension at every turn . . . you won't be able to put it down until the final, stunning page!

Heart-poundingly suspenseful and heart-wrenchingly insightful, NEED TO KNOW hums with authentic detail, crisp storytelling, and characters that will long stay in your thoughts.

This compulsive, clever thriller will have you reading long into the night.

If you liked THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR, try NEED TO KNOW by Karen Cleveland . . . Thrillers don't get much more twisty and turny than this one. If you don't mind staying up reading til 3am, this is the one for you.

Impressively compelling . . . this is probably the banker among the New Year crop thanks to its sheer page-turning readability.

The heart-stopping plot barely lets up pace throughout this brilliant novel.

You'll devour this terrific debut like the rest of us, skipping lunch, losing sleep, turning pages until the end, where we're all left waiting for more.

Karen Cleveland is the real deal - an exciting new voice in thrillers.

Prediction: if you read chapter one, you'll read chapter two. If you read chapter two, you'll miss dinner, stay up far too late, and feel tired at work tomorrow. This is that kind of book. Superb.

Remarkable

An immensely satisfying story with serpentine twists and turns . . . ingenious and compelling.

Waits’ first fictional outing is a shadowy, disturbing narrative and once you start reading it’s hard to resist the call. Sirens is the best British crime debut of the last five years.

A fierce, assured and utterly compelling debut . . . A Ross MacDonald for the 21st century.

Great read. A powerful piece of Manchester noir, brutal, poignant and dark as tar.

Fresh and darkly stylish, Sirens is a striking debut that marks the arrival of a major new crime writing talent.

Sirens immediately feels like a classic, not a debut . . . a book for every crime fan.

An amazing thriller. Sexy, stylish suspense.

A dark, dangerous noir, Sirens will be one of 2017’s smash hit debuts.

A down and dirty slice of Manchester noir . . . Impressively bleak.

Page-turner is the only word for it.

Brooding, blistering. Sirens is a remarkable literary thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and James Lee Burke
