Review
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last' * Choice * 'A fast-paced whodunit.' * Woman and Home * '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.' **** * Daily Mirror * 'Knight's promising debut . . . crackles from first page to last . . . She could be very good indeed.' * Daily Mail * 'A really enjoyable read.' * Martina Cole * 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. * Stylist Book of the Week * Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight * Independent Books of the Year 2011 * Praise for WINK MURDER * : * 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. * www.crimefictionlover.com * The resourceful self-reliance of the imperilled heroine Nicky . . . the large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing . . . read and Ali Knight writes well. * Literary Review * '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! * www.shotsmag.co.uk * 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. * Lisa Gardner * [A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday * Telegraph *
