Critics Review

Dear Child is an accomplished thriller, beautifully written, intriguing and very compelling - Peter James

German bestseller Dear Child by Romy Hausmann is tipped to be one of the UK’s must-reads of the summer - S Magazine

I read Dear Child in one sitting, holding my breath. Such a gripping, suspenseful and beautifully written debut. I loved it! - Jo Spain, author of The Confession

One of the best thrillers I’ve read this year. Flawlessly plotted with a pace that refuses to let the reader come up for air - not that you’d want to - Stephanie Wrobel, author of The Recovery of Rose Gold

Wow! Such a disturbingly good read. Romy’s knack of getting under a character’s skin is impressive. I loved it - Lesley Kara, author of The Rumour

If you read only one thriller this year, choose this one. Room meets Gone Girl in this gripping novel, which will haunt you long after the last page - Alice Feeney, author of Sometimes I Lie

A peerless exercise in suspense … Whether treated as a study in trauma and identity or a dark, well-crafted crime narrative from multiple perspectives, it is a nail-biting fare - Barry Forshaw, Financial Times

Claustrophobic, terrifying and fiercely compelling, this is heartbreaking - Daily Mail
