This novel and its characters will stay with me forever. I ached, cried, and laughed and it felt like I bled right along with them. No one will ever forge a flawless novel, but with Tell Me Something True, Robotham has gotten as close to it as I've ever seen
A triumph. A gripping page-turner with a vivid sense of place, impeccably drawn characters, a plot you can't second guess, and real emotional punch. I loved it
Tell Me Something True is a profoundly rich and heartbreaking novel about the singular endurance of love in all its forms, even through unthinkable and compounding tragedies. Michael Robotham demonstrates uncommon insight into the suffering and survival of a family devastated by murder and its myriad aftermaths. Here is a master storyteller reminding us that hope is more powerful than grief
A small town setting with an utterly absorbing atmosphere, unforgettable characters, a multi-layered mystery, beautiful prose - a flawless novel and my favourite book this year
Michael Robotham has at last turned his gift for psychologically complex crime novels on his own homeplace, and the result is a riveting, and chilling, look into the dark niches of Australian small-town life
Most writers would be proud to produce, in their entire career, a book half as good as Tell Me Something True. I felt the same sense of excitement reading this book as I did when I picked up Michael's first novel, The Suspect. No one can touch him when it comes to infusing crime with character and heart
One of the best books I've read all year - beautifully written, moving and propels you to a devastating ending. I loved Michael's description of small town Australia and the great characters he created - it really is a gem
A masterpiece. Not only my favourite Australian crime novel, but one of my favourite all-time books
Grabbed me from the start and never let me go. A ripper of a story
Robotham conjures up a whole and compelling world, full of heartbreak but also hard-won hope and piercing clarity
