Quotes

Praise for The Liar's Room

“Brilliantly tense…You’ll try to outguess the plot but always be one step behind as the secrets and lies gradually unfold in ever more dark and disturbing ways”--CJ Tudor, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man

“A central theme of the book―How much is a parent responsible for a child’s behavior?―is presented in a thought-provoking way that will stay with readers long after the final twist. Hand this one to readers who enjoyed Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin (2003).”― Booklist

“This thrilling suspense novel will have you on the edge of your seat…. Be prepared to read this straight through. It’s very difficult to put down.”― Suspense Magazine

Praise for Simon Lelic's The New Neighbors

"An intricate, powerful, and deeply unsettling thriller about the profound ways in which cruelty can change its survivors, and the creeping fear that nothing--not your home, not love, not even your own mind--is as rock-solid and impregnable as we all want to believe."--Tana French, New York Times bestselling author of The Trespasser

"This terrifying thriller sent shivers through me!"--Jane Corry, author of My Husband's Wife

"A masterpiece of duplicity, a psychological thriller of the highest order, in which the characters not only lie to each other and to everyone around them, they lie to themselves. With two highly unreliable narrators digging themselves deeper in every chapter, fans of he said/she said suspense will love this tense and gripping story. Highly recommended!"--Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King's Daughter

“Enjoy the intense ride.”—Publishers Weekly

"A bundle of creepy chills...Read it."--The Observer

"Deeply creepy...This clever, twisting plot, told in convincing voices, will haunt you in the very best way."--Sunday Mirror
