Trade Review“Masterfully told… With its fast-paced writing and intriguing storyline, this is a tough book to put down.” — Bookreporter.com on The Game She Plays “Fans of Ruth Ware will love The Game She Plays. Pour your favorite beverage and settle in for a delicious master class in manipulation, as Nicola meets her new man’s upper crust friends in an English manor house. What could go wrong, right?” — Wendy Webb, author of The Stroke of Winter “The Talented Mr. Ripley meets The Guest List in this slow-simmering psychological thriller full of scheming, manipulation, and murder among the English aristocracy. Part love story, part seething tale of lives unraveling, and part scathing indictment of the unearned privilege that insulates the wealthy, The Game She Plays unfolds like a clever chess game: all calculated moves and ratcheting tension until a final violent strike.” — Ashley Winstead, author of The Last Housewife "Set in 1970 at a girls’ boarding school in Lenox, Massachusetts, Sterling’s novel is both a gripping psychological thriller and a not-so-nostalgic look back at a time of massive social upheaval. . . Both evocative and provocative, Sterling’s blend of thriller and coming-of-age tale is deeply affecting and full of unexpected twists." — Booklist (starred review) on Tell Us No Secrets “A slow-burn psychological thriller filled with well-developed characters that builds to a satisfying, if unsettling, conclusion. Sterling is a writer to watch.” — Publishers Weekly on Tell Us No Secrets “Tell Us No Secrets, the debut novel by American journalist Siena Sterling, has all the ingredients for a slow-simmering stew of teenage angst that will leave readers relieved that they are no longer in high school.” — Crime Fiction Lover on Tell Us No Secrets
