Critics Review

Compelling

Utterly addictive – Paula HawkinsThe mother of all thrillers! Like The Girl on the Train - but better! * Daily Mail *A gripping debut that explores and manipulates the fears and insecurities of mothers everywhere … Well thought out, vividly realised and gripping * Guardian *An inventive twist on the psychological thriller formula … Audrain sustains the suspense expertly through assured handling of her unravelling protagonist’s voice * Sunday Times *Ashley dares us to find the relatable in the worst we can imagine … the knife-edge between relatability and horror keeps the reader hooked * Grazia *I was gripped from the first word to the last. I’ve been wanting a book to take me back to how I felt when I first read We Need to Talk About Kevin. When you close the book but can’t function until you know how it ends … I really recommend this one – Dawn O’PorterI was gripped … dazzling and gloriously complete – Daisy BuchananThe Push was a poetic, propulsive read that set my nerves jangling in both horror and recognition. I read it one sitting and it stayed with me for days afterwards. Not to be missed – Lisa JewellA compelling, compulsively readable thriller that never lets up and will keep you guessing right to the very last page * Daily Express *Powerful and immersive – Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
