The Worst Thing You Ever Did

Faye's life is finally on track. She's got a wonderful circle of friends, a thriving career, and a husband who loves her.

None of them suspects anything about her darkest secret.

The only person who knows is Michael, her first love - and the trauma of what they did tore them apart.

But she's managed to put it behind her. She's a different person now. The past can stay buried.

And then Michael comes back. He wants to reconnect. And if she doesn't let him in, he's going to tell everyone about the worst thing they ever did...

Reviews

Sparkling with wit and witticisms about the world of writers and writing, Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it. Leave it to Stevenson to make high-jinx and murder deviously good fun

—— Nita Prose

Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading

—— Stuart Turton

An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for

—— Jane Harper

Praise for Benjamin Stevenson

I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book - I've never read anything like this before.

—— Jane Harper

An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery

—— Sunday Times

As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It's Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt's Creek with a body count. It's also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I've read in years

—— A.J. Finn

The best thing I've read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker

—— Stuart MacBride

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing

—— Alex Pavesi

This was such a clever, compelling read. It's a must for anyone who loves the rules of crime fiction, but it still packs plenty of twists. It had me laughing and turning the pages in equal measure. Bravo Mr Stevenson!

There is nothing quite as exciting as a brand new Harlen Coben…Brimming with plot twists, secret lives and untrustworthy confidantes, Fool Me Once centres around Maya Stern…badass and totally cool – she is a heroine you won’t be able to get enough of.

—— Broadgate

An outrageously stunning read, that takes a tight hold from the outset and continues to squeeze until the shockingly intense end.

—— Lovereading.co.uk

As ever, Coben ramps up the tension expertly.

—— Thriller of the Week, Mail on Sunday

[an] engaging and enjoyable read.

Coben remains one of the most reliable thriller writers around and his standalones, like Fool Me Once, make it very easy to entice new readers on board.

I am a huge fan of Harlan Coben and have read just about all his books, and this one surpassed my expectations. This is a very clever and well thought out plot and kept me guessing right up to the very end.

—— Promoting Crime Blog

He takes you on a journey so detailed, and with such rich characters, that when the inevitable twist finally comes, it really stings. As the truth about that fateful night is revealed, it will leave you wondering if you can really trust anyone at all. Another must read from Camp Coben.

—— Good To Know

Such a clever plot with so many twists.

—— Woman

With beautifully written prose and razor-sharp insight, Katie Gutierrez draws us into More Than You'll Ever Know's gripping and complex world. Even as the dual storylines left me breathless, I found myself more captivated by Gutierrez's intimate and compassionate portrayal of these women, their men, and the many secrets they kept. Passionate, supremely intelligent, and thrilling

—— Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee

A complex portrait of marriage and desire, a thought-provoking exploration of motherhood, and a fascinating look at our collective obsession with true crime . . .

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.

—— The Gloss

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.
