Omschrijving
The first standalone psychological suspense novel from Nicci French in 10 years - a major publishing event
'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre, upon whose shoulders other writers stand'
‘French, the pseudonymous couple who single-handedly revamped the psychological thriller in the 1990s, show they remain as expert at suspense, plot and the psychology of stressed heroines’
'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'
‘It’s Nicci French perfection – which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued'
‘The Lying Room reasserts Nicci French as the master of duplicity, suspense and sleight of hand’
'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'
‘You know a book's gripping when you sneak away at any opportunity to read it. Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute’
‘This book is a pure adrenaline rush!’
Nicci French is the pseudonym for the writing partnership of journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. The couple are married and live in London and Suffolk.
