Trade ReviewThe new Silence of the Lambs, complete with female Hannibal Lecter and a cracking twist. Sensational. -- Lisa Gardner
A fresh, fiendishly twisty and very different take on the serial killer thriller, with characters so utterly compelling you won't be able to put the book down. Highly recommended! -- Louise Voss
Expect the unexpected,
intense from the opening page! * Best *
Knight's first novel,
Wink Murder, was smart, well-written, and genuinely thrilling, and I raved about it. This is her fourth, and it is even better. She has created a terrific villain,
fiendishly clever. * Daily Mail *
Eerie, smart and brutal - this is a proper chiller * Heat *
A deliciously complicated,
compelling psychological thriller. A well thought out, beautifully crafted piece of crime fiction. * The Crimewarp *
Praise for THE FIRST CUT * : *
[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . .
[one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday *
Telegraph *
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! *
