Review

I cancel all engagements and turn off the phone for a new Alex Marwood book - Erin KellyOne of the best books I read this year: The suspense keeps the pages flying, but what sets this one apart is the palpable sense of onrushing doom - Stephen King on The Wicked GirlsI made the mistake of thinking I could read a couple of pages and then spend the weekend writing. Well, that was not the case. A few pages was not enough, in fact, nothing was enough until I had finished it. I think it is taut storytelling at its best and by the end I was breathless - Angela Marsons on The Darkest SecretWith the psychological acuity of Kate Atkinson and a dark wit all her own, Alex Marwood draws us into The Darkest Secret with utter narrative cunning, then surprises with its emotional wallop, its deeper resonances. In so doing, she demonstrates, without a doubt, that she is one of crime fiction's brightest stars. Not to be missed - Megan AbbottA genuinely shocking thriller where nothing is what it seems. So good I wish I'd written it myself - Val McDermid on The Darkest SecretBoth brilliantly dark and dazzlingly funny, this is crime writing at its best - Lisa Jewell on The Killer Next Door
