'A fast-paced whodunit.'
This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat desperate to read more. Perfect for fans of James Patterson . . . I was left completely shocked with the twist at the end.
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.
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish. Pacey and disquieting, Knight's debut hints she might be a successor to Sophie Hannah's queen of suspense crown.
Praise for WINK MURDER
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight
'A really enjoyable read.'
Psychological crime writing at its best . . . A story full of jeopardy and menace.
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
The new Silence of the Lambs, complete with female Hannibal Lecter and a cracking twist. Sensational.
The resourceful self-reliance of the imperilled heroine Nicky . . . the large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing . . . read and Ali Knight writes well.
Praise for THE FIRST CUT
'Crackles from first page to last.'
'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!
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!
[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday
