One of the greatest writers of the 20th century . . . no other writer can set up a scene as sharply and with such economy as Simenon does . . . the conjuring of a world, a place, a time, a set of characters - above all, an atmosphere.

A superior stylist . . . photographic . . . Simenon's subject is how people who are pushed to the edge push themselves over it; the force of the sleuthing is that of psychoanalysis, not police interrogation.

Gem-hard soul-probes . . . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend . . . he exposes secrets and crimes not by forensic wizardry, but by the melded powers of therapist, philosopher and confessor

Strangely comforting . . . so many lovely bistros from the Paris of mid-20th C. The corpses are incidental, it's the food that counts

Simenon's supreme virtue as a novelist, to burrow beneath the surface of his characters' behaviour; to empathise . . . it is this unfailing humanity that makes the Maigret books truly worth reading

A gem of a read. It's like discovering a buried treasure trove of words, characters and dialogue which both entertain and make you think

A super smart and slick revenge thriller that is brilliantly plotted, with an incredible kick-ass female protagonist. I loved this

A Kiss After Dying is a fast, energetic revenge thriller with a roaring engine and twists for miles. Buckle up for some old-school smiting, where the sins of the father are thoroughly, ruthlessly punished.

An isolated house in the snowy woods, a cat-and-mouse chase, a story packed with secrets where nobody is what they seem ... I loved the flashbacks expertly woven into the tale to reveal the dark secrets of a relationship

Brutal, tense, and utterly compelling, Laure Van Rensburg is an electrifying new voice

Not an exaggeration to say this left me breathless - a relentlessly tense revenge thriller that's as beautifully written as it is savage and twisty

Misery meets Malcolm and Marie... An intoxicating, head-spinning and heavy-hitting revenge thriller

Nobody But Us is unapologetically brutal, clever and raw: a psychological thriller that stabs a razor-sharp knife into the bruising issue of consent (and - for good measure - gives it a twist) while pursuing a page-turning game of cat-and-mouse in the most evocative of settings

I raced through Nobody But Us in a couple of days. It's a tense cat and mouse thriller and I enjoyed being toyed with...

A propulsive thriller that is atmospheric and haunting, with so many twists that it left me breathless. At the core of the story is a rage-fuelled message, a cry of fury that demands to be heard. A triumph of a novel

Devoured this in a day. It's the reading equivalent of a 'hall of mirrors' where nothing is as it appears. Once you start reading, you can't stop

Superbly written, so sharp, descript and cunning. Deliciously dark and utterly addictive.

Beautifully savage and cunningly sharp, Nobody But Us is destined to become your next obsession. The almost unbearable tension will trap you with Ellie and Steven in their twisted relationship where nothing is as it seems. Trust no one in this electrifying debut, and prepare to be completely consumed

Inspired by real stories and events shared during the MeToo movement, the cat-and-mouse power struggle between the pair will force you to decide whose version of history you believe

I raced through this pacy zeitgeist thriller...for those who love their books dark, twisty and a tiny bit deranged (in a good way!)'

Nobody But Us is such an addictive thriller filled with secrets and mind games and never knowing who to trust. But it's also chilling and beautifully written with a powerful message at its heart. This is one book I won't be able to stop thinking about for a long time
