Praise for WINK MURDER :

Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight Independent 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. Stylist 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.' Daily Mail
