Critics Review

Brilliant detective work, very well told. * Evening Standard *Disturbing and meticulously researched, this is a vital book for the #MeToo era. * Stylist, Best True Crime Books Ever Written *An important and necessary book that tells a complicated, uncomfortable story clearly and with great power. * i paper *With meticulous forensic detail, this true story is as disturbing as it compelling. * Sunday Mirror *Remarkable * TLS *I pretty much read A FALSE REPORT in one sitting. It is deeply disturbing but brilliant. I hope it helps with the seismic shift needed in attitudes to women who are brave enough to come forward when they have been assaulted. – Sandi ToksvigA deep, disturbing, compelling, important book. A False Report digs into timeless issues – crime, victimhood, honesty, sexism – which have never been more timely. It is also a fascinating, sharply written story that will twist and surprise you. – Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid ThiefIncredibly compelling true-crime… Miller and Armstrong have forensically examined the case of a serial rapist, giving the victims a voice while underlining the importance of collaborative police work and believing testimonies - especially in circumstances of sexual violence. * A Stylist Spring Pick *A riveting and disturbing true-crime story that reflects the enduring atrocity of rape in America. * Kirkus *A timely story, this book examines not only the crimes at its heart, but also the way in which women who report being raped are often placed under suspicion themselves * Stylist *
