A beautiful double-take plot. And characters seen with compassion. Her best yet!

The best mystery writer anywhere in the English-speaking world

She can make a scene between two women sitting in a café as violent as anything you’ve seen between a couple of guys with baseball bats

Rendell is unrivalled at depicting psychologically warped people and at creating unease through the simplest things. This is another triumph

There are quite a few Ruth Rendells: the doyenne of the traditional English detective novel; the queen of the psychological thriller; the celebrated author of the literary thriller

A fantastically thrilling police procedural with two feisty, believable female leads. Everything I love in a book!

I loved it! With a sinister plot and a creepy serial killer it's gripping and terrifying. And Laura and Niamh are characters I want to read about again and again!

There’s a lot to unpick in this very layered novel but it is excellent. I advise you to read it and [If I Tell] immediately

I love this crime fighting duo! Original and real, Laura and Niamh are such fresh voices. Taut, compelling and utterly creepy, with a dramatic conclusion that will have you frantically turning the pages, read it with the light on!

With well-drawn characters and an intense, urban plot, When They See Me feels gritty and above all authentic'

Page turning, twisty and gripping . Characters that you really care about and that are raw and real. A great read!

Utterly gripping!

Everyone Here Is Lying by Shari Lapena is WILD. A very satisfying thriller.

Magnificent, a perfect demonstration of [Shari Lapena's] exceptional skill as a storyteller... Utterly compelling

Everyone Here Is Lying opens with a corker of a premise that had me racing through the book... a clever twist... a thrilling ride

A fast-paced read with jaw-dropping twists

Shari Lapena is an expert in both pace and the placing of clues and misdirections

Shari Lapena has been described as the queen of the 'just one more chapter' thriller, and having devoured this compelling novel in double-quick time it's easy to see why . . . Plot twists are planted like hand grenades throughout the narrative, set to go off when you least expect them, and the denouement is as surprising as it is shocking.

Lapena has great fun pulling secrets from her conjuror's hat . . . when it comes to construction she's a master, her stream of twists and surprises perfectly timed

I read this in three days and loved every addictive page
