Reviews

[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday
<i>Telegraph</i>
Top notch suspense! From first page to last, Knight delivers as she plunges an ordinary married couple into a steadily growing horror of past lies, fresh betrayals and murderous revenge.
Lisa Gardner
'It is some time since I have been so completely absorbed and taken out of myself . . . This is Ali Knight's second book and it is hard to imagine how she can beat it, but I hope to goodness that she does!

The resourceful self-reliance of the imperilled heroine Nicky . . . the large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing . . . read and Ali Knight writes well.
<i>Literary Review</i>
This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat desperate to read more. Perfect for fans of James Patterson . . . I was left completely shocked with the twist at the end.

Praise for WINK MURDER
:
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight
<i>Independent</i> Books of the Year 2011
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish. Pacey and disquieting, Knight's debut hints she might be a successor to Sophie Hannah's queen of suspense crown.
<i>Stylist</i> Book of the Week
'A really enjoyable read.'
Martina Cole
'Knight's promising debut . . . crackles from first page to last . . . She could be very good indeed.'
<i>Daily Mail</i>
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****
<i>Daily Mirror</i>
'A fast-paced whodunit.'
<i>Woman and Home</i>
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
<i>Choice</i>
