Review:

Expertly crafted and completely gripping. Pacy, suspenseful, emotionally convincing and surprisingly moving... One of the best thrillers of the year -- Graeme Cameron, author of Normal Colette McBeth just gets better and better, but this was something really special -- Holly Seddon Fiendishly impressive structure; taut, evocative prose; gripping plot -- Sarah Vaughan, author of ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL One of those beautiful books where you think you've worked it all out, only to discover that you've been duped by an expert who knows how to write brilliant twists and turns. I devoured it, but also didn't want it to end as I was captivated by both the perfectly executed plot and the sublime writing -- SJ Holliday, author of The Damsel Fly I inhaled it - literally reading it in one sitting. A beautifully written, gripping and thought-provoking book -- Emma Kavanagh, author of Falling Thoroughly gripping, clever, beautifully written crime fiction -- Jane Casey, author of After The Fire A scorcher of a novel where all of the elements of great storytelling come together - vivid characterisation, great plotting, and a denouement to freeze the blood. I loved it! -- Liz Nugent, author of Lying In Wait An intelligent psychological thriller with a new twist on the genre. A thrilling read -- C.L. Taylor, author of The Missing Dazzling. Political intrigue, echoes of Savile, with a troubled mother and son relationship at its heart. -- Tammy Cohen, author of When She Was Bad The complex nature of family relationships are portrayed with clarity and heart in Colette McBeth's An Act of Silence. A taut thriller. -- Ali Land, author of the Sunday Times Bestseller, Good Me, Bad Me A tense thriller ... beautifully written and perfectly paced. Her best book yet -- Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle Colette McBeth is beloved of writers like Paula Hawkins, and with this twisty, clever novel, she's guaranteed to win more fans * Red * Brilliant, taut psychological thriller - and it could be true. Unputdownable -- Julia Crouch, author of Her Husband's Lover Sensational. Intricately plotted and emotionally tense -- Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of I Let You Go Throws a chilling light on how brazenly power can be abused at the top echelons of society, and the suffering it can bring down on the most vulnerable - packaged up in a brisk and imaginative plot * Sunday Times * The definition of a page-turner * Sun * I loved it. Clever, atmospheric and truly scary. Colette is the real deal -- Marian Keyes, bestselling author of The Woman Who Stole My Life
