'I flew through this book in three days, with my heart in my mouth. Seriously page turning'

Totally hooked from the first page. Such an accomplished thriller!

I read this book in one tension-filled evening and couldn't go to bed until I knew how it ended.

‘Loved the female friendships and the constant twists and turns – a definite must-read for summer!’

Gripping thriller

‘The term “unputdownable” gets bandied around quite often in the book world – but believe us when we say this novel is the real deal. 5 STARS. ’

Dark pasts and secrets and twists aplenty are brought together skilfully (and terrifyingly) in this oh-my-god-don't-let-it-happen-to-me page-turner extraordinaire.

A chilling, unputdownable story of friendship and deceit

Now You See Her takes every parents’ worst nightmare and spins it into a tense psychological thriller that’s difficult to put down.’

Gripping from start to finish.

‘With some beautifully engaging dialogue and highly reflective thought processes, the voices of these characters are articulate and carefully crafted. It is swift and engaging to read throughout.’

What a phenomenal, hair-raising, spine tingling, and energetic read this is. My first thought as I finished this book, was ‘one of the best books I have ever read’, but now, I have to say that that has changed now that I have had the time to digest Perks’ outstanding talent. Now You See Her is my most favourite book of all time, my most favourite book of 2018, and Heidi Perks has very quickly become one of my all-time favourite authors.

An amazing read with two sides to it, Charlotte’s side and Harriet’s side, but there is only one truth.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most talked about reads this summer. The emphasis is very much on the characters, you will find yourself doubting them, questioning their motives, and desperately turning the pages to get to the truth.

Now You See Her is an absolutely gripping domestic thriller. From the very opening scene in the police station, I was hooked on this story! Brilliantly written and with a fantastic twist, I fully expect this to be a poolside favourite over the summer holiday season.

I read this book in one tension filled evening. I was absolutely gripped by the sympathetic, well-drawn characters and couldn't go to bed until I knew how it ended

A rich hybrid work that's at once a zany dialogue-propelled town-hander, a murder mystery, a road trip, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography

Finding something new to say about serial killers is almost impossible these days, but Heaberlin's approach is completely original and all shades of menacing

My crime novel of 2018. It's a stunning page turner of a book which kept me gripped throughout. It's a book that has stayed with me beyond the last chapter and I'm recommending it to everyone

The timing is perfect, the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting

This book haunted me. Such a gripping exploration of obsession and loss: of those we love, but also our memories and sense of self. The writing is beautiful and chilling, laced with a subtle dark humour, and the multiple twists build to a perfect icy shiver of an ending. I loved it!

Utterly compelling . . . the writing is mesmeric

Praise for Black-Eyed Susans

It's a terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension

One of the classiest thrillers you'll read this year

Black Eyed Susans is a compelling read, especially for Serial fans

Creepy and compelling, Black-Eyed Susans is a shadowy and crooked journey to a very dark place indeed, a twisty fairytale that deceives you just when you think you've cracked it and a thriller to make you remember why you love thrillers. Don't miss it

Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings

Black-Eyed Susans is a masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed . . . and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling... is outstanding. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early novels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn's Gone Girl and now Heaberlin's Black-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it

A truly compelling tale of the fragility of memory and elusive redemption

Terrific. Impeccable plotting
