Critics Review

In AFTERWARDS, we see a master’s touch on every page. Uncompromising emotional impact, a poet’s sonorous style and a gripping story all come together to make this a transcendent literary experience. I guarantee this novel will touch everyone - Jeffery Deaver

Extraordinary…heart-stopping…[an] ingenious thriller - Mail on Sunday

I became insanely gripped … The word compelling is used lightly of mystery and crime novels this one will define it for you - Daily Mail

In a LOVELY BONES-style conceit … Lupton works her theme of the corrosive effects of ambition with insight and gusto - Guardian

The smartly crafted characters create an addictive whodunit … [it] flits between a fast-paced criminal investigation and the beautifully written musings of Grace as she hears that she and Jenny will probably never wake up making this an unmissable read - Heat

Loved THE TIME TRAVELLER’S WIFE? Well this is even better - Company

Compulsive reading right from the start … Pacy and compelling - She

As with Lupton’s debut SISTER, AFTERWARDS has bestseller written all over it. She has found a way of combining searing emotion with page-turning plotting - Daily Mirror
