Twisty
One of the best crime writers currently working
The Couple at the Table is a wise and witty portrait of modern marriage and murder
Complex and satisfying outing
A fabulously twisty and entertaining read!
A new novel by Sophie Hannah is a cause for celebration. The Couple at The Table has everything you want in a mystery - a cryptic threat, a murder, a closed circle of suspects and an unguessable solution. Completely ingenious, entirely satisfying - a delight from start to finish
I have just finished The Couple At The Table and it is BY FAR Sophie Hannah's best one yet. Relatable, funny, high concept and so satisfying I watched in awe as the pieces fell into place. Bravo!
You'll love this brain-melting thriller!
Brain-bending
The award-winning crime writer returns with another gripping psychological suspense
As much head-scratching fun as ever
Intriguing
Another winning thriller
Sly and twisty whodunnit
Clever and wonderfully plotted
An absorbing thriller with an abundance of red herrings and a gradual drip-drip of clues. A fantastic mystery
