Autor Ali Knight
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2016
Would you try and escape if your freedom meant murder?

He'll do whatever it takes to find his missing sister. But playing a killer is a very dangerous game . . .

Darren Evans was only eleven when his beloved sister Carly and four other teenage girls disappeared, sparking a huge police investigation.

Eventually, a woman confessed to their murders. But although she admitted her guilt, Olivia Duvall refused to say what had happened to those five missing girls. Or where their bodies might lie.

Recenzii

The new Silence of the Lambs, complete with female Hannibal Lecter and a cracking twist. Sensational.
A fresh, fiendishly twisty and very different take on the serial killer thriller, with characters so utterly compelling you won't be able to put the book down. Highly recommended!
Expect the unexpected, intense from the opening page!
Knight's first novel, Wink Murder, was smart, well-written, and genuinely thrilling, and I raved about it. This is her fourth, and it is even better. She has created a terrific villain, fiendishly clever.
Eerie, smart and brutal - this is a proper chiller
A deliciously complicated, compelling psychological thriller. A well thought out, beautifully crafted piece of crime fiction.
Praise for THE FIRST CUT
[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday
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.
'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!
The resourceful self-reliance of the imperilled heroine Nicky . . . the large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing . . . read and Ali Knight writes well.
Psychological crime writing at its best . . . A story full of jeopardy and menace.
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.
Praise for WINK MURDER
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight
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.
'A really enjoyable read.'
'Crackles from first page to last.'
'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.' ****
'A fast-paced whodunit.'
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
