PRAISE FOR THE PEOPLE WATCHER

A propulsive, sinister, gripping tale about the dark side of human nature that is hard to put down.

Original, creepy and devastatingly clever. I raced through The People Watcher yet didn't want it to end. Utterly addictive. I loved it!

Deftly plotted and deliciously twisty, this character-led thriller is a step outside the rest

'Absorbing and richly detailed, a novel with real heart.'

'A taut and immersive story about a troubled, complex but ultimately enchanting character. Twisty and dark as the night itself, it is beautifully written, compulsive and impossible to put down. A triumph.'

Another corker from the author of The Memory Wood

An unsettling thriller

This is Sam Lloyd's third novel, though the plotting and characterisation show the sure touch of a veteran. This marks him out as one of the authors to watch over the next few years

A brutal and compelling tale that starts as a revenge story but quickly becomes so much more. Clever, shocking and horrific in places, it's the sort of book for which the phrase 'page-turner' was invented

Come for the fabulous premise, stay for the razor-sharp portrait of a marvelously complex (and often totally terrifying) mind. I was a big fan of You Let Me In, but Camilla Bruce has absolutely outdone herself with Bella Sorensen and Triflers Need Not Apply

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story

Deliciously dark, wickedly observed with a protagonist who will haunt you in the best way. Utterly gripping, chillingly compelling - you won't read another story quite like Bella's

Loved this fascinating tale of how a woman's pain turns to rage and then murder. A dark, thrilling ride into a world of revenge. Oh so satisfying

A perfect read for any crime fiction fan. A chilling immersion into the mind of a serial killer - dark, seductive and addictive. A truly gripping read

Based on a true story, with dark humour throughout, you will be hooked

Extraordinary. Bruce does a marvellous job of reimagining this real-life murderer, without excusing her crimes

This gory fictionalisation of her story is also a great character study

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge

Chilling. Camilla Bruce's adept reimagining of this compelling historical figure is difficult to forget

You'll veer between pity and loathing for the main character, with perhaps a touch of horrified admiration at times

A teasing, atmospheric mystery set against the background of a hot summer in New York.

The tension and foreboding builds gradually in this outstanding gothic debut, allowing readers to savour Ann's voice. The disturbing account plays with class differences and women friendship, set against a medieval, academic atmosphere sheltered from the city.

'Beginning with every parent's worst nightmare, Andrea Mara's new book serves up another terrific hook that immediately draws the reader in. No One Saw a Thing is a fast paced family thriller that will keep you turning the pages'

'Incredible thriller, amazing premise, Andrea Mara always delivers on twisty addictive pageturners. An adrenaline rush of a book.'

'Another delicious slice of domestic noir from Andrea Mara, No One Saw A Thing has a great hook, an ultra-satisfying ending and all manner of twists, lies and deceit in between.'

'A palpable sense of menace hangs over Andrea Mara's latest thriller which packs punch after shocking punch. Talk about suspense! No One Saw A Thing is a gloriously tangled, whiplash-inducing, electrifying read. I couldn't put it down and I can't recommend it highly enough.'

'Andrea Mara smashes it yet again with a story you simply cannot set aside! A pacy gritty acutely observed nightmare chase through London - helped or is it hindered by a group of toxic friends. My heart was thumping right to the end!'

Praise for Andrea Mara

'Next-level domestic suspense - even the twists have twists. I loved it - Andrea Mara is a star.'

'Original, clever, and unputdownable.'

'A relentless, twisting page-turner, Hide and Seek delves deeply into every parent's worst nightmare. A first-class thriller.'

The twists keep coming as the action rockets back and forth in time exposing the terrible truth that binds the friends together and eventually wrenches them apart.

Mara is truly gifted at this kind of story, and this is a proper page-turner, with several cliff hangers and plenty of red herrings. As the action progresses, the pace intensifies to a pulse-rising intensity . . . A most satisfying thriller.
