– Sunday Times

'The Lying Room is a return to their roots, and oh boy, is it a good one... With its terrifying premise – how easy it is for an ordinary woman to find herself faced with evil – The Lying Room isn't merely a return to the form of Nicci French's earlier chillers – it's even better'

– Observer

‘It’s Nicci French perfection – which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued'

– Sophie Hannah

‘The Lying Room reasserts Nicci French as the master of duplicity, suspense and sleight of hand’

– Sam Baker

'The hook of The Lying Room is chilling: a woman discovers the dead body of a man she knows and doesn’t tell a soul. From the very first page, Nicci French remains one step ahead of us as we race to unpick Neve Connolly's deadly tangle. Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable'

– Louise Candlish

‘You know a book's gripping when you sneak away at any opportunity to read it. Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute’

– Jenny Colgan
