Review
Masterly plotting, Hitchcockian suspense and an absolute jaw-dropper of an ending. Read this book! (LUCY FOLEY, bestselling author of THE HUNTING PARTY)
Intelligent, imaginative and a terrific read (THE TIMES - Crime Book of the Month)
I read it in two nights and savoured every luscious word, every grim encounter, every startling twist (DAVID BALDACCI)
Smart, sophisticated suspense - a very fine novel by any standard (LEE CHILD)
The perfect thriller. I quite literally couldn't put it down (A. J. Finn, bestselling author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW)
A taut, meticulously plotted and compelling novel (THE OBSERVER)
The Silent Patient may be a first novel, but it has the pace and finesse of a master (BBC CULTURE)
One of the best thrillers I've read this year. Masterfully plotted and brilliantly paced by a writer at the top of his game (CARA HUNTER, Sunday Times bestselling author of CLOSE TO HOME)
A superior psycho-thriller (THE TIMES)
I was kicking myself black and blue that I did not see *that* moment coming. I have never been so happily wrong-footed. A very clever book - highly recommended. (C. J. TUDOR, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE CHALK MAN)
