Praise for The Third Wife

Something of a moral fable about modern relationships, this is a smart and enjoyable story

Sunday Mirror

A moving read from one of our fave authors

Fabulous Mag, Sun on Sunday

The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting. Take this to the beach, or indeed anywhere — I promise you won’t regret it.

Daily Mail

An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end.

Daily Mail, Books of the Year

Prepare to totally forget about your family as you become immersed in someone else’s.

Stellar Magazine

There are so many psychological thrillers around right now – but this is one of the best.

Sun

Wonderful, endlessly fascinating
